Teabagging

[Xiahou]

I'm confused. What other things than the one involving testicles does "teabagging" mean?

And what do people think they mean when they say "teabag"?

As far as I know, the only people calling it "teabag" parties or "teabagging" with any sort of regularity is Maddow herself. The protesters themselves are referencing the Boston Tea Party by calling their gatherings "tea parties".

Her news show is a joke, so if she gets a good chuckle out of mischaracterizing the protests, good for her.
