@51924fff As a matter of fact, the current meaning of the bitch is very debatable. Yes, according to the dictionary, in its rawest sense, bitch means a female dog. However, when it comes to that word, we are witnessing another etymological breaking point. Bitch can now be interpreted as a compliment as well. I wonder what is going to happen with that word in 200 years... What do you think? 

 @1c9d4ad4 We're already at the point where a word which is a deadly racial insult in most circles is a friendly form of address in others, so who knows? 

 @51924fff which? That I didn't know... 

 @1c9d4ad4 In some cases, among black people, N****r is considered socially acceptable, or so I've heard. I don't know the details and would consider it unsafe to go near it.

In general, dirty words gain power by being tabooed.
