"Bitch" is a horrible word and should never ever be used in any context.

Stop reading the net as it's full of "offensive" stuff.
Put the poster on ignore.
Stop using DU.
or just get over it.

unafraid to tell it like it is, to bluntly and honestly call out the shortcomings or injustices of the world and those around her.
Madonna, got to love her says, "I"m tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay"
Liz Taylor says," I know I'm vulgar, but would you have me any other way?"
Hillary Clinton, considered a bitch by many says, "I also believe that when you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent."
And from Glenn Close, actress, "I can make the switch to human any time I want to. People look at me and I know what they're thinking: Tough, Demanding, Bitch!.

So sit back zapp, pour yourself a glass of whine--er, wine--and get ready to embrace and fully appreciate the inner bitch you know and love. Whatever you prefer to call it--supreme confidence, and unapologetic attitude (I opt for the all-inclusive bitchiness)-- take pride in the knowledge that you, too, can be a bitch.

My favorite Quote :
As a mother and grandmother, I think "lioness." You come near the cubs, You're Dead!
--Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, on Mark Foley, a congressman accused of writing inappropriate e-mails to White House pages..

As for myself, I've never considered it an insult. Some of my best friends have called me "bitch" to my face, intending it as a term of endearment, and I've taken it as such.

The word can be a great insult, a great compliment, or, as in this instance, a comedic vehicle. I know when a sexist jerk is using it as a bludgeon and when my girlfriends are high fiving me for being one.

Describe each other, though. The ultimate insult for them is a term related to women.

Did you miss the sarc tag, or did you miss the fact that no word, however ugly, was ever off limits for FZ?

Just saying...being tender about the word "bitch" seems kind of in conflict with having any respect for someone like FZ who would say exactly what he was thinking about anyone no matter how ugly.

Dear zappaman,

Did you not know that "bitch" is an abbreviation for:

Boys

Now you know.

is it possible that he suffers from brain damage? There are neurological disorders that might explain his unusual and seemingly unprovoked fits of crying such as pseudobulbar affect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudobulbar_affect). Any illnesses aside, however, this is a pretty funny post.

I always thought it might be the booze that makes him cry on command. I'm convinced if someone brought a kitten or puppy onto the house floor the man would start crying. God help the person who sits in front of him in a movie theater while showing any chick flick.
