    Origins of the word here

    That word is used as a noun and verb.  It applies to dogs, humans, complaints, etc.  I don't want to hear any more bitching today.

    The real question should be "Why do you call a female person bitch ?"

    Because most females are bitches.lol


    To answer your question about the k9s >>>The origin of the term is apparently from old Norse, bikkja, or old German bekjon, through Old English, bicce, through Middle English, bicche, to the modern English spelling and pronunciation. The actual, primary meaning of the word "bitch" was a female dog, or more generally a female canine (female wolf, female coyote, and so forth).

    Mrs. Clonge. We're going through a bitter divorce, so it's ok.

    Ahhh, that must be my new name too- LOL!

    Interesting, the French word 'biche' means a deer, and is used as a term of affection, but the French word equivalent to 'bitch' is 'garce' a highly offensive word, whereas a female dog is 'une chienne'.

    'La serveuse baise comme une gueuse' = The waitress scr*ws like a slut' Baisse = fall or drop. Baise = kiss, but is often used in the sense 'to have sexual intercourse with'. My dictionary cautions; great care is required in the use of this word.
    Beware of fausse amies, for example 'all our sausages contain presevatives'. The literal translation in French means 'all our sausages contain condoms'.
