bitching
word · lemma: bitch
Definition
Slang for complaining a lot, especially in an annoying or negative way. It can also mean saying unkind things about others. Sometimes, it’s used positively to mean something is very cool, but this usage is much less common.
Usage & Nuances
Very informal, mostly used in spoken English and often considered rude or vulgar. Common collocations include 'stop bitching' and 'bitching about'. Rarely, 'bitching' can mean 'excellent' ('that car is bitching'), but this sense is outdated and regional. Avoid in polite or formal contexts.
