What does BITCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A female dog, or more generally the female of other members of the dog family such as wolves and foxes.
Breeders and vets use bitch as the standard technical term for a female dog, alongside dog for the male, and it appears throughout kennel club records and breeding guides. The word has an older, neutral history in this sense going back to Old English, well before the offensive slang use of the same spelling developed. Because the neutral and the offensive senses share one spelling, the word is now used carefully in general conversation even though it remains completely standard among dog breeders. A litter is normally described by naming the bitch and the sire.
How BITCH is used
Standard and neutral in dog breeding and veterinary contexts; the same spelling also carries an unrelated offensive slang sense that is avoided in polite speech.
