Hi!
The Spanish work PUNTA means "tip". Not as in a money tip, but as in the tip of something...
For example, a sharpened pencil has a pointy "tip". That's what PUNTA means.
It is also use tto reffer to extremes: "DE PUNTA A PUNTA" is used to say something like "FROM EXTREME TO EXTREME" (as in the extreme of a road, for example).
The word for B-I-T-C-H is P-U-T-A. (without the N you are writing). You can also say "prostituta" which is more acceptable socially and does not sound like a curse word.
Goodluck!

The word is "puta" and it has no real literal translation. It is worse than the things you said. If someone calls you this, know that they have called you a very nasty thing. The words you used are a fair English counterpart.

I was always told that ***** in Spanish was "puta." I have no idea what "punta" means. Maybe it depends on the dialect.

It's "puta", not "punta". Punta means "point". Puta is a bad word.

do you mean "puta"? I think that's the spelling. It's the four letter word - c**t.
