I totally do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119690 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:10:58 +0000 Rubies 119690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't call people the b-word but I use it as an adjective. Like, "Man, that was a really b*tchy thing that she did..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119661 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:46:23 +0000 chopsuey 119661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to use it a lot when I was younger. I stopped cursing, so I only use the B word if someone REALLY deserves it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119654 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:41:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 119654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like to curse so it is not a word that I use. A lot of people in my family use it as a term of endearment though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119633 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:04:42 +0000 HabesBabe 119633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a combo of the first two-- I use it as a term of endearment and for jerks (depends on the context). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119623 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:42:42 +0000 Andrea 119623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate how it is used in the title of those shows as well. It is just not necessary to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119611 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:26:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 119611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This word doesn't bother me, if someone called me a B, I would probably agree with them, I can have an attitude at times. If my DH called me this (he never would but if he did) I would probably just call him a name back and not take offense to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119604 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:11:10 +0000 MsLipGloss 119604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a visceral reaction to the word, but I do think it is thrown around a little too nonchalantly/casually. I don't like to use the word, and although I try not to be easily offended, I don't like to hear it used to describe someone, no matter how accurate the description may be. </p> <p>I must confess to using the word to verbalize my frustrations when I am alone and stuck in traffic (I live in a fairly large city, and lost out-of-towners who jack up traffic because they won't commit to their navigation errors makes.me.tick!), although it is just to myself, and it is certainly not the only curse word thrown around in my car. *blush* Now that butterbean can hear me, though, I definitely try to tone it down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119596 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:56:11 +0000 mrbee 119596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a man I find that if I use it, it is perceived as having all sort of gender-related connotations. So I don't really use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-think-of-the-b-word-itch#post-119595 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 15:54:47 +0000 Maysprout 119595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two TV shows use the word in their titles this season - Don't trust the B in apt 23 and GCB. </p> <p>I know it can kinda be used as a term of affection but I have to say personally I'm not a fan. I have a bit of a salty tongue at times and I do call people tom, dick and harry's, well particularly the second one of those names but I guess I just feel like the B word is just used in general for any strong woman and I've come to really dislike it's use, especially in the media. </p> <p>How's everyone else feel about the B word? </p>
