Bitch

Bitch - female dog. Calling someone a bitch suggests that you view them as such, whether in jest or not. It's still derogatory.

So, how do you as a woman. interpret it? Just a question.

I've said it before and i'll say it again. These men & woman that
call someone a bitch don't realise they are using an acronym

It is a compliment Brownbabe because it means......

B - Babe
I - In
T- Total
C - Control of
H - Herself

As woth most words - there are a huge number of ways it can be interepreted... affected largely by the circumstances at the time if nothing else.

In general I'd view it as derogatory and can only think of "you lucky bitch" as an example where I might use it, as an emphasis, to a friend I know, if she got lucky in any reasonably substantial way.

Ok, here is a question, I would never call a woman a "bitch" but I would yell that out when something untoward happens to me (as long as it is not caused by a woman). of course I would say, "fuck" or "shit" more often but that "bitch" does sometimes replace it. Now, would you find that offensive? (that I'm using "bitch" as a common swear word?)

**yungatart** · 18th May 2006, 16:12

I don't like it and will probably slap the face of anyone who dares to call me that to my face! As for you MSTRS, you DON"T own me - and its MISS Bitch to you!

Ha, I use it jokingly with the wife. Normally get told to 'get fucked' with her middle finger raised! It's all a piss take, we respect each other. But we are also comfortable enough with each other to give each other a bit of shit from time to time. Fuck in the 4yrs we've been together (married 1) we've only argued once, and the bitch was wrong anyway!!!

not 'flattering' ............ 'flattening' - for him, that is ....

.................................................. .......... nah - that's the 'comic' answer .. not appropriate if it was a serious question, sorry

........if it WAS a serious question then i can't recall it happening but, if it did i think i'd probably take it in the manner it was intended and let that guide my response

was it a serious question? i mean, you are talking as though it's a standard form of speach [almost like 'mate' is used in australia] but i haven't found it so?
