English
Etymology biche, bicche, bicce
Noun
bitch (plural bitches )
- A female dog. Often extended to other species' females.
- (vulgar, derogatory): A malicious, spiteful, domineering , intrusive , and/or mean woman.
- (vulgar, derogatory; less commonly): A spiteful gay man, or a spiteful man (implying womanly behavior.)

- (jokingly) A friend. (Especially between women, between gay men, and also between woman and gay men)
- Whatsup my bitch, or How my bitches been doin'?"
In predomanantly gay communities the noun bitch is sometimes diffused by intentional overuse/misuse. In print, and outside those circles, the noun (referring to a person) is always demeaning, with the added implication that the person being insulted is subservient, i.e. the male partner who always plays the female role in a gay couple.
