Bitches!

Does anyone else use “bitches” as a gender-neutral term, unrelated to concepts such as “ho”, “slut”, or “trash”?

I want to know when I started using “bitches” (directly, to people), because it has to be somewhat recent. I’m tickled that it doesn’t really have any actual meaning, in the context I use it, except perhaps similar to “homefries”.

I think it’s Joe’s fault, though his context is much more traditional. He’s a very whitebread, geekish guy who says “bitches get stitches!”. It’s a riot, coming from the sort of guy who’d be more likely to get stitched. :)

“oh then it’s alright
when with every day another bit falls away
oh but it’s still alright, alright, alright
and like words together we can make some sense

much more than this
way beyond imagination
much more than this
beyond the stars
with my head so full
so full of fractured pictures
and i’m all there
right next to you”

  1. Amy and I call each other (and anyone else) a ‘Sloppy Bitch’ often

    • Oh yes, i’ve been much exposed to that, especially when our favorite fatlazyho is around! :)

      • Yeah, sloppy bitch, sleepy bitch, lazy bitch, silly bitch. They all get bandied about at the Hayford House with no gender or negative connotation attached.

        Though if we’re talking about the term “bitches” by iteslf, I believe that it might be a thing…I’m pretty sure I’ve heard him use it recently.

  2. I’ve started using it recently as well!
    Its just a great word to bust out with. I think its a girly word, for me. Its better than fuck.
    .. but I’m sure you make it sound super macho Skennedy, that was not a slam.

    • *snicker* How long have you known me, Lindaloo? I’m rather unconcerned with whether something is girly or manly – I’m 6’2″ with broad, hairy shoulders – I doubt anyone is going to be confused. ;)

  3. Do tell!

    Now I’ve got that ICP/ODB song stuck in my head. :grins:

    The only time I consistently use it is if I am doing the “bitches, bitches, bitches” routine. You know the one:

    “Bitches, bitches, bitches. This is what we’re gonna do. Get your bitch asses into the kitchen and make me some pie. And whichever one of ya’ll make me the best pie – you get to bob up and down on my thingamadoo.”

    Either that or “I always light my bitch’s cigarettes”. So I don’t think you got it from me.

    Strangely enough – as long as it’s plural, it isn’t nearly as offensive of a term. Then again, among friends, and refering to friends, it takes a serious effort to make it offensive.

  5. I picked it up from Mikey, beltaine 2 years ago…

    “it’s the lusty month of may! give me kisses, bitches!”

    and then he broke. oops.

  6. I’ve been using “bitch” as a gender-neutral term of disapprobation for the better part of a decade now.

  7. yes, i’ve been using the term bitch gender neutrally with no ill effects for many years now.

  8. I use it all the time. But I don’t know that you picked it up from me. But if you did what would just make my week. :)

  9. That would be awesome! Put some of that black wax on a visible tooth, ruffle up your hair… and then flash around a lot of cash (that you intend to re-deposit again immediately). :D Watching them squirm would be… fucking sweet.
