Hi

1. Is it okay to use for calling a man? Is it only restricted to a woman(as bitch is a female dog)?

2. How do you pronounce "kind of " in an informal speech? "Kinda" or "Kai-na"?

Ice cube who is an actor and director from Hollywood. He kept pronouncing his "kind of" as "kai-na" and "and" as "anna"?

Thanks.

Some gay men use it in referring to other gay men. Some American black guys use it in reference to other men.

Both are heard.

On Jerry Springer show, it was spoken by a white teenager to his mother's boy friend who happened to be a white man as well.

Well, in the UK, "Bitch" only refers to a woman. OK, I know that Gay people have their own slang.

Also, "Bitch" refers to a 'female dog'. However, I would be careful in using the word 'Bitch' to refer to a female dog, because even though it is the proper use for the word, the word "Bitch" is deeply offensive, even though it may be used a lot in some circles.

Do you kinda get my meaning?

You know what I mean?

DOG: has also developed some unpleasant connotations. I think that this is because dogs are not well regarded in Muslim countries.

Bye for now

"bitch" is a curse word. If you use it, you are cursing.

Some American girls use it to their bestfriend. It's not aways a curse.

What episode of Jerry Springer was it? Maybe it's on youtube?

Yes, "bitch" is a swear word.

Not for everyone.

You can say bitch to whomever you want, but with guys you'd probably hear "son of a bitch" more often.

"bitch" is a swear word/curse word/profanity that is often beeped out on television.

If you say "bitch" during a presentation, or at a church you'll get odd looks.

"bitch" is most certainly a curse word, if it wasn't a curse word, it wouldn't be bleeped out on television.
