is bitch a bad word to you?, I use it but don't mean it Options

[Aestuarium]

well I was wondering because I sometimes use it, but I don't mean it, and maybe someone doesn't like it or something. I use to people who act bitchy, but not in a bitchy way, just to joke at their bitchyness. That didn't make any sense.

I searched if there was a poll like this, but I couldn't find it. If there already is, delete this.

[iheartsimba]

Depends how you say it..

[Aestuarium]

I say it in a good way. (or at least not a bad way) But I want to know if people find it disturbing.

[Teesa]

Hmm, I use it, but most of the time I don't really mean it like that. It is a bad word to me, but I don't mind if people use it. Just not to me :)

[Mr. Slowjamz]

i have a bitch in my house .

shes a pure-breed black and White Shi-Tzu and her name is Chrissy .

[shortiiex]

it's not the worse...and it is fun to say

[*incoherent*]

i use it all the time...usually only when im pissed off or messing around though.

[jennyjenny]

Yeah, it kind of depends whether you're joking or not. Like if I hate someone I'll say that so and so is such a bitch because they act really rude.. or something. I don't know.

[snak3y3z1001]

i dont think its bad. imo bitch,f**k,fag etc lost all its meaning.

[technicolour]

Bitch bitch bitch bitch. Nah. That word describes too many people.

[lovescream]

No. It always means female dog to me.

[maia_dc]

To me bitch isn't a bad word. It's like... a term of endearment or whatever. Like, "hey what's up BITCH?"

[DanceJunkee]

Depends on how you use it, sometimes I'll say it as a joke to my friends.. but if I'm mad and I use it, then yea..haha its bad.. its all about context.

[Im So Vain]

^yeah it depends on how you use it, because its a word that has multiple meanings.

[*suddenly she*]

yes. unless you're talking about a female dog.

[turbulent]

the whole concepts of "bad words" is stupid, i dont know why ppl freak out about em, they are juss words. you shouldnt use em to put down ppl

but i would classify it as a bad word

[Aestuarium]

no, I'll say it like "hey! stop bitching" or "are you trying to be a bitch?" or stuff like that, when people are being bitches :P thanks for replying and voting :)

they even say it on mtv without beeping it out =D

[*basick*]

common - the light

I never call you my bitch or even my boo
There's so much in a name and so much more in you

[Eryi]

I'd get really depressed after you call me a bitch and I'd consider jumping off a building.

[Skyline Drive]

It is when I'm mad.
Otherwise, it's just another word.

[Aestuarium]

I'm just asking because some people get offended by it. I just want to know if I should keep using it on public (at least here on cB).

[*kryogenix*]

Yes, it's pretty offensive. It's alarming how swear words are become "normal" now.

[xquizit]

I find it offensive. If any of my friends jokingly called me a bitch, I wouldn't take it lightly.

[coconutter]

It's better than a noob saying "u r a bi@tch" and can't forget, "ur a @$$".

[angel-roh]

I just say it for fun way.

But when I get really mad --- I really meant it.

[FlipsieDoodles]

yea but in todays world it almost all cus word are just ignored unless youre gonna be a bitch about it

[*danielle_x3*]

I try my best not to curse; but to my friends it's normal to.

[*danielle_x3*]

I try my best not to curse; but to my friends it's normal to.

[*salcha*]

Um, I don't curse. But I kind of don't mind when swear words are used in a playful manner, unless it's every other sentence. I would probably hate you if you used it offensively.

[mouse_3k]

It dont really matter to me. I get called it all the time but in a verbal fight, I always have more hurtful things to say.

[vivieeeen]

common - the light

*sigh, common....

I don't take it lightly, let's just say that.
But then again, I get all heated just by "you impeccable lower form of being."

So yea, that's from me.

[WhiteLotus*]

I only use the word "bitch" when I'm really angry at someone. But I will use it however to describe a female dog.

[demolished]

I use it
and
really mean it but
i usally dont mean it unless
they provoke me more than enough.

[Aestuarium]

I find it offensive. If any of my friends jokingly called me a bitch, I wouldn't take it lightly.

unless you're joking,
http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=b1tchstfu
that's ironic... =_=

but thanks for replying

[swtvi3tlynn]

i duno depends if mah friends say it i'm kol with it but other ppl does i'll get piss

[#1distortion]

i call myself a bitch all the time cause i noe i am one a lot of times lol... but if someone calles me a bitch in a bad way i get really pissed so i guess it depends

[*disco infiltrator*]

Depends on the context. If someone says, "Oh, she's bitching about the car down the street." it's ok. But if someone calls someone else a bitch, that's offensive and not meant to be taken lightly.

[SMiLEEFORMEE]

yes. it is and i never use it lol. maybe once? but i doubt it

[xchrystizzle]

i have a bitch in my house .

shes a pure-breed black and White Shi-Tzu and her name is Chrissy  .

lmao x) i've got a bitch too!
shes a mix of german shepard & golden retriever & her name is Missy :P

but i dont find it a big deal -_-; my friends and i always call each other that when we're kidding

[Ephemeral Styles]

I try my best not to curse; but to my friends it's normal to.

word, sistah.

you should use "bitch" towards a woman. it's extremely disrespectul, not to mention rude. i find it alright if you say something like, "life's a bitch."

[carlito1589]

I think it all depeneds to who you say it. If you say it to an enemy or a stranger it is cursing...but to some1 ur close with or friends its not..hmm....

[soooo_retro_i_am]

depends on how ya use it...

[emazing]

Yes, but don't worry about it.
;)

[..:loveee.NuTTii]

It depends....I think it's a fun word. Wish I could use it more though....

[Aestuarium]

ok

[parallel]

Yes. But don't worry about it.
Actually. It isn't kinda to me.

[toodlepops.]

Well, if I say it to one of my friends, I don't really mean it.
But if I'm not close to that person, it means something bad.

[kikyo]

to me ,not really.the tone of sum1's voice could be ovenceive.

sum pplz call kikyo a bitch.to me that's ovfencive. just 'cuz she 'hates/luvs'him

[QUOTE]"the red thread of fate,once broken,can never b rejoined"

[juliar]

Bitch isn't that bad of a word to me, but I usually use seriously only when I'm seriously pissed off at some girl. I usually use it to joke around, so I don't care, really.

[jeSs1cA]

No, it's not really a bad word to me. Like.. I'll say it, but I don't mean it when I say it. It's kinda just a way like I'll greet one of my friends as a joke.. like "Heeeey bitch!" Lol, it's kinda hard to explain.. but ah, oh wellll.

[miss barnes]

depends on who i'm callin a bitch & the reason

[heyyfrankie]

unless you are using to address an ACTUAL female dog, than yes, it is a bad word. but i say it to people all of the time so don't worry about it.

[short_stop08]

I was raised where people considered it a bad word and when I stay it isn't considered a good thing. When I'm with friends I don't mean it bad though.

[Hell-Rell]

I use bitch alot.

[*stephinika*]

i don't really think its that bad of a word...i use it both sarcastically or seriously sometimes. *shrug*

[sharerol]

I don't really consider it as one. I use it a lot jokingly.

[pinklove_stains]

yea, it has become a common word, if i call my friend bitch, its not a bad word but if im pissed at girl. i'd use f**king bitch.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

it iS a bad word but i dont get offended if the term is used loosley in front of me, unless its around my younger siblings or anything, and unless its diercted as an insult towards me i find it not that offending.

[Angel_Cece]

nopes. i use it with my friends. they dont mind.

[Gigi]

No. I call my friends bitches. I joke around with that word, but sometimes I use it in a way where I really mean it, in which case I still think is acceptable - if someone is bitchy enough to be called that, they deserve it.

[ichigofan]

+ well it depends on how its used, If my friend calls me a bitch and then starts laughing then its not offensive but if someone that I dont know calls me a bitch then I get offended

[MFDOOM]

Yes, yes it is.

Hoe cakes is such a better term.

[Justingamemaster]

f**k i use bitch all the bitchin time yo.

[vash1530]

severity is determined by context

[Justingamemaster]

most definitely. i mean, if i just said "f**k" outta the blue, pretty much nobody would care.

but if i said..."f**k YOU a-hole" then everybody would turn heads and be like "OMGWTFROFLOLOLMFAOWTFWTFZORS!"

[Smoogrish]

Yeah. I use it to describe back-stabbers who have no life and no idea of how to get one.

I think it's pretty offensive when people call me a bitch, even if they are my friend and they mean it jokingly or as a compliment, because of the way I use it. It's like a built-in reaction.

"Bitch!"

*dies*

[*tweeak*]

Profanity doesn't bother me at all, really, but it's not something I can use at home, so I'd consider it bad. Bitch as a verb, however, not so much.

[AnnahhbeL]

not really...

[Babi3xFoOlish]

depends on how u use it.

[sweetabandon]

It depends on how and when you say it. Context clues are helpful too.

[Just_Dream]

Well I would say it's a bad word, but sometimes I find myself saying it. If I get mad, I might let it slip.

But hey, I got my "biznacho" now, so I can say that whenever I want :P My friends still think it's weird when I say that instead of female-dog, so they only think it's somewhat normal when I say biznacho online (chatting, posting, etc.). And yea :P

But the b-word is a pretty offensive word. I usually only say it when I get road rage and I'm in traffic and those horrible horrible drivers... It's sad when I get road rage EVEN THOUGH I'm not driving. Hahah I'm such a backseat driver

[m.ar.i.a]

most of the time, yes. but if its a friend or someone playing around or something, not really.

[5ayuri]

Most of the time I say it, I don't really mean it. Like "Hey bitch." Mostly to my friends.

[whomps]

Yes. It's a harsh word.

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

Hmm, I use it, but most of the time I don't really mean it like that. It is a bad word to me, but I don't mind if people use it. Just not to me :)

yeah what she said.....

[vash1530]

context
examples

bad- "u stupid bitch, i cant believe you did that to me!"

not bad- " that kid loves to bitch!"

(hard to emphazize non-verbally)

[krispy_kreme333]

I cuss often, so saying bitch is a regular word in my vocabulary. I don't really take it offensively if it is coming from someone I know, and I know that they don't really mean it. My friends call me a bitch all the time, but I don't take offense to it because I know that I am.
If I don't know the person, and they jsut call me a bitch for no reason, then I get mad.

[WHOngos144]

It really depends on how you use it

[Gerifan04]

I couldn't vote, none of the answers apply to me. I would say it all depends. I sometimes call people a bitch or something else in a joking manner(even if they're not acctually bitchy). They know I"m joking and all is well that ends well. So in that way its fine. But if you're using it to put someone down it can be a bad word. But I use it in that way too so I'm not going to tell anyone not to use it for that purpose.

[yo pusha]

i think i posted here with "basick" before but yeah ill post again.. the bword is just a word i dont say.. i dont like the word, dont like using it, dont like it when its being used, i wont let it be used around me...

common - the light

i would never call you my b-word or even my boo
theres so much in a name and so much more in you

[cLinT_wEStw0oD]

err...bitch really means female dog, and so it became an offense. not really a bad word, but what can we do about todays society? absolutely nothing.

[Looow]

i think i posted here with "basick" before but yeah ill post again.. the bword is just a word i dont say.. i dont like the word, dont like using it, dont like it when its being used, i wont let it be used around me...

common - the light

Yeah, I was just about to post about how you don't acept that word. I use that word often. I won't use it around you

[ikayto]

who cares

[gelionie]

Yes, it's pretty offensive. It's alarming how swear words are become "normal" now.

Ditto to that. I don't like it when people use it as everyday language.

[sw33t_rouge]

bitch...itsa dog.

[maryissa]

Bitch 2 me isnt a bad word. I just dont like saying it.

[ParanoidAndroid]

I say it in a good way. (or at least not a bad way) But I want to know if people find it disturbing.

how can u say bitch in a good way?

"Aw you're bitch! But don't worry I mean it in a good way!"


I seriously don't get it

or do you mean

"Ha that is so BITCHIN!" ?


well I don't think it's a curse so yeah....

[Smoogrish]

Hahah yeah, I don't like being called 'bitch' even if it's in a good way.. I don't feel comfortable using it and generally don't like people who include it in their everyday language.

[full:O:beans]

yes...I would never say that to anyone, unless I really wanted to be mean, which I never do. But I wouldn't base anytihng on me cause to me eeverythings a bad word...except god. I use that sooooo often. I try to stop but it's too hard, and alot of ppl think it's rude to say god. but GOD! I can't help it.

[FoxBandCutie08]

I use it a lot. I don't think it's that bad, you just have to mean it when you say it. If you don't mean it, it'll just be a joke abd everyone will be calling each other bitches and it'll be bad.

[EddieV]

I barely use it.

[smearedmakeup]

I don't think it's a bad word, if you're using it as like "Why's she bitching?" or something, but it bothers me when someone says, "What's up, BITCH!", even if they are joking, because what's the point of joking around about that? I don't think it's funny.

[NoSex]

Uhmm. I don't believe in "bad" words. What a silly concept.

[synthase]

well not really...
unless its someone i dont "really" know
but it is true im a BITCH ; because im a FEMALE DOG (in the zodiac :: im a dog! get it??!)

[*Mintyfresh977*]

I don't like the word, but I can tolerate it if people say it.

[spoon_fork]

A bitch is a female dog or other member of the canidae family. In colloquial use, the word bitch is often employed in a metaphorical sense to either insult a woman, or to describe one who is malicious, spiteful, domineering, intrusive, and/or unpleasant (it may also refer to an effeminate male). The former specialised meaning is retained and in widespread use among dog aficionados and breeders, but derogatory usage has become so prevalent in the last century that the term has acquired a profane connotation and is often considered unacceptable by broadcasting regulations and Standards & Practices manuals.

By extension, the adjective "bitchy" — unpleasant, fretful or querulous — and the verb "to bitch" — to complain, especially habitually and without any helpful intentions — are also used, although they are widely considered less offensive than the noun. The verb "to bitch" also has a slang definition: to humiliate or subjugate another, as in "Ali totally bitched Foreman during the Rumble in the Jungle". Neither the adjective or the verb are normally used in formal language.


for short: i dnt think so....

[mzbbc]

me and my friends that are girls will be like, "heyyy what's up bitch," like joking. but i think it's offensive when a guy says it, especially about his girlfriend. my friend was talking about his gf and he's like, "oh yea that's my bitch." ughh

it's all in the context.

[mylittleMiracle]

yep i use it to shout at some people who are relli bad lol:)

[AngryBaby]

"what up bitches!" i giggle inside everytime i hear that.

"where my money you punk ass stupid Bitch!?" i dont giggle.
