I still feel funny about calling my female dog a bitch. But not when I call a person a bitch. I use it most in phrases like “they’re just going to bitch about it”
I think it probably depends on the person and whether they would be okay with it or not? Like is it silly such as “Bish pulease”, whereas I’ve never once heard someone call someone else like a “cunt” (UK, and I guess Australia?) and had it be any kind of okay. But rap culture seems to have redeemed bitch… maybe, for some people?
Edit: as always, it’s the consent that makes all the difference.
I was on the tail end of kids still getting spanked or worse (last of the gen Xers).
My cousins still had a paddle with holes in it that made a terrible whistling sound before it got you. Their dad was a southerner though was always the excuse.
The best is not having to dress up for work. I had a couple of years of that and then transitioned to jeans/sweats/shorts and t-shirt for the past 35 years. That sucked and thank goodness pantyhose is or less gone.
It seems to be really well thought out. Like the original meme is nice too:
But would be a lot of paint that would flake off easily so the above design looks like it would work much better for a shirt:-).
Bring back 1970s iron-ons!
And clothing that lasts for
more thanat least one year, sheesh!But were people allowed to say “bitch” back then? Truly we have advanced in so many ways!:-)

Oh yeah definitely not. I’d have been grounded for weeks even in the 80s.
This is when you would respond “Bitch, I said what I said” (Doja Cat, Paint the Town Red), right?! Hrmm… me neither:-P.

Nowadays kids parent the previous generation so I’m not entirely certain that things are “better”. Probably yes in some ways, worse in others:-|.

And now many people work from home, in like pajamas or equivalent. Personal toilet, snacks, that’s the life! :-)
Shorts and tshirt are pajamas and day clothes.
