17. And how often do people refer to a woman as an "asshole"?
It's not technically gender specific, but 99 times out of 100 it refers to a man.

2. Fuckhead.
Quite gender-neutral. It might not be right for every occasion, but I think fuckhead says it all.

14. The "B" word is the "B" word, always will be
.
.
.

Some may get it banned on this board, but a "B" is STILL a "B"

:dunce:

(btw "B" = BOOB)



THERE - take that! :silly:

25. 12
but I'm such an elitist liberal, I'm going to make ~you~ figure it out, and also doom the chances of it being adopted, making it quite the bastard replacement for bitch :shrug:

26. "B" Creative
There are plenty of "classics" that are gender-neutral. My favorite--and it's VERY applicable to Condi--would be "shit-f'r-brains." Those who don't appreciate the profanity can go with "nitwit" or "dimwit" or simply "fool." Watch two hours of "The Three Stooges" and you're set with a full vocabulary.

They're all just as effective as "bitch" but are specifically targeted at the victim's intelligence instead of their genitals.

As True Today As It Was Then:
"Every time you think, you weaken the nation!"

28. *B* implies a certain degree of utter meanness and disregard
for other; our GN word should reflect that.
