That was what a female dog was originally called. The slang use for the word came after they had already named it.

Middle English bicche, from Old English bicce.]
Function: noun
: the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals
Just as a female bovine is a heifer (not bred) or a cow (bred), a horse is a mare, a whale is a cow, a cat is a queen, a pig is a sow... and so forth.

Used to be "*****" simply meant "female dog." But people began to use the term to refer to an ill-tempered snarling human female probably because such females are reminiscent of mama dogs who snarl ferociously in defence of their puppies or territory.

that is the name they have always been called!
that's where the insult came from. Calling someone a ***** was origionally offensive because u were calling them a female dog.

The question should be 'why are female humans called b i t c h e s as a deragatory term?' Girl dogs are sweet -- we should be saying, 'wow that girl is so sweet; she's such a bit ch!!' :-)

It is the CORRECT TERM!!! Males are "dogs". Cats are Toms & Queens. Chickens are rooster & hen. Duck & drake. Goose & gander...etc,etc.
NOT mommy & daddy or boy & girl,etc. Don't be "cutsey",OK?
