What does it mean to call someone a "bitch" today? Is it ever acceptable, or does it always carry a negative connotation? Michelle and Sarah unpack the nuances of this controversial term.

    Correction: In this episode Sarah says bitch is one of the 7 dirty words George Carlin recites you can't say on television. However, this is not one of the words. Nevertheless, bitch was not used on television until 1979 and is still regulated by the FCC's rules of obscenity.
