There are some constructions of 'to bitch' I've heard before but aren't confident enough to add -- like "bitch at" and "bitch out". Could someone check those (I wouldn't know where to start) and add them to the article please? ~[[W:User:tinlv7|tinlv7]] (Please copy a response [[W:User talk:tinlv7|here]].)
== Etymology ==
Why is there no mention of the French word "la biche"?
Doesn't it look more than obvious that bitch and biche are related/could very well be related.
Considering that many, many English words are derived from French and not the other way round, wouldn't it be plausible that "bitch" does NOT have its immediate origin in Old Norse/Germanic forms but in the French "biche"?
This is not to say, this is so - but before looking up the etymology of "bitch" I had always automatically assumed that "bitch" was derived from the very similar word "biche"...
