Hello
I think you souldn’t use the word b***h as “female dog”, as it has a different meaning: prostitute, slot, w***e,….
You don’t want your students to be in an uncomfortable or acward situation. Do you?
i know right
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term b***h comes from the Old English word bicce or bicge, meaning “female dog”, which dates to around 1000 CE. It may have derived from the earlier Old Norse word bikkja, also meaning “female dog”. “Dog” has long been used as an insult toward both women and men.
A male deer is a “buck”…..
no
no that is a female rabbit or?
