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.

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....
