bitch
noun- a woman UK, 1713
Although Grose considered it “the most offensive appellation that can be given to an English woman,” it is used in this sense with no derogatory intent; it is dismissive or patronising, based on gender rather than the unpleasant and lewd characteristics of earlier and concurrent usages. Comedian Richard Blackwood (b.1972) used “bitch” in this sense, referring to Queen Elizabeth II, during an edition of BBC television’s Have I Got News For You in October 2000. Six viewers complained to the Broadcasting Standards Commission. The BBC argued “Richard Blackwood was using the term as it is currently used, for example, in British and American Rap Music simply to mean ‘woman’, and not as a term of abuse”. The complaints were not upheld. - Johnny was always telling us about bitches. To Johnny, every chick was a bitch. Even mothers were bitches.
