a thought or two on this "stitch-n-bitch" legalities controversy

I was just thinking about this lawsuit, Deb Stoller, and Stitch and
Bitch...

Well... Deb Stoller's got a book out called "Happy Hooker"... if I were
Xaviera Hollander, I'd sue Deb Stoller... after all, Ms. X.H. is the
'original' Happy Hooker, snerk!

LOL,
Noreen

Too true, Mirjam, but bitch also IS a female dog....
and right now, with this thing going on with the controversy, methinks
they're ALL 'not bitches', because that would be an INSULT to canines!!

Bitch as a noun is still considered insulting, but bitch as a verb was
never insulting. "To bitch" means to complain loudly, and it was
always used without offense, even when I was young (when language was
a lot more constrained). People say, "Quit your bitchin' " or "Ain't
that a bitch?" (meaning "isn't that something really worth complaining
about?")

"Stitch and bitch" gives the impression of a group of people sitting
in a group, knitting and complaining about things, maybe about their
jobs or their spouses. It doesn't sound insulting.

"Stitch and bitch", or "Stich'n'bich" were common terms used by my
Grandparents in the 1930's as my Grandmother organized church quilting bees
in Missouri and later in Kansas. It was a common term around Pentecostal
church quilting bees.

I never heard the term from my Aunts until I was 21. Then, I was more than
shocked into learn that my Grandmother and Aunts had been using such a
vulgar term as "Bitch." Sure, they had been using the term amongst
themselves, just not within earshot of impressionable children. So as a
child, I knew the term from my Grandfather, I just never dreamed that my
Oh-So-Proper Grandmother and "Maiden Aunt" had ever used the term.
