"Bitch" is NOT a swear word!

[Anonymous]

Don't even get me started with Regular Show's infrequent usage of the terms "pissed off" and "dumbass". It is still nowhere on the same level as The Simpsons and Bob's Burgers, let alone Family Guy and South Park, in terms of crudeness. Regular Show even used the word "bitch" in one episode on Cartoon Network.

Now obviously context matters. You don't want to be caught dead calling your mother a bitch. This might come to a surprise to most folks, but there is actually one thing worse than that. Telling your parents they suck is worse than calling them a bitch (or a bastard) because sucking implies actual sexual tension, whereas the word "bitch" almost never implies anything sexual.

On paper it may seem like the word "bitch" is comparable to "shit" (and sometimes even the f-word or the c-word) in terms of offensiveness. But the vulgarity places shit above bitch due to its sole meaning being extremely rude to discuss in public. Swear words exist for a reason, but slang words are almost a completely different story.

Bitch, along with damn/hell, bastard, crap, ass, and sucks are context-dependent and can be used either rudely, idiomatically, or in their literal context. Sure you won't hear them in a Kidz Bop version of a song, or on Sesame Street, but remember that this doesn't make them "swear words".

I am sick and tired of prudes calling every single little thing a "swear (or cuss/curse) word". It is BULLSHIT. If you can say a word freely on TV (including daytime commercials) or on the radio, it likely isn't a swear word. Hell, even the word "shit" is used on certain AM-FM radio channels these days.

"Ass" and "piss" are more in the grey area, since it is technically the most offensive word for a person's rear end and urination (respectively), but other meanings imply neither one is a swear word, especially with "badass", "dumbass/smartass", and "pissed off". Both terms have been used on shows on Cartoon Network, Disney XD, and Nicktoons. Especially Regular Show.

So long as there's Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos, the Dodge Hellcat, and Bitchin' Sauce, there's hardly any actual "swear words" left.

Context is important like you’ve said. “Bitch” can be an awful slur directed at degrading women as much as it can be just regular slang in different contexts. The same way the F slur can mean a buddies of sticks, a cigarette, or a highly offensive slur to degrade gay men. This line of thought continues with other words too…


None of the other usages detracts from the hurtfulness of the word if you use it as a slur, and this is why it’s still considered a “bad word” with context removed. You can’t just go around saying it carelessly. Hope that clarifies any confusion you had.

It's still a cuss word. If it was still the early '90's and I said bitch, ass, shit, whore, bastard, fuck.. I would've gotten spanked. Did u get spanked?

Then why is Target selling the Bitchin' Sauce? www.target.com/.../A-79474046

Why is there a TV show called Bitchin' Rides?

[TransAm85]

Because this generation has no manners, morals, or values. Capitalism at it's finest.

Every generation has its own flaws, remember your rebellious Boomer parents did a lot of sneaky crap when you weren't born

Another thing too, what if you were actually referring to an actual female dog or an actual donkey?

[WraithRogue04]

I think it depends more on how the words are used, instead of what they word actually are. You can say something simple and add a negative tone and it will change the meaning.

Ok then call this to your mother, wife, daughter and sister daily.

I explained about this already in my post, you illiterate degenerate

Well "bitch" is the most accurate word to describe a "bitch". Stupid's not gonna cut it lmao. Just don't say it in the wrong place like a workplace or somewhere holy because that's not an appropriate setting and everyone's going to be looking at you weird.

[Daniela1982]

Maybe they are talking about their dog?

[HotPinkDominatrxSlut]

Who cares. People seriously need to stop getting offended over words.

[BillyBalls]

If you call your mother a bitch that makes you "a son of a bitch"

[Redstang88]

Ok? Didn’t know anyone cared
