I'd never want to say anything slightly off to the supernice Ekat, and don't believe I have ever seen her be wrong about anything. But I've never seen it spelled bitchen either. Maybe it can be both? Sounds the same either way. #torn

It's a long standing joke thing between she and I.

About time to widen the circle of fun.

As long as the 'bitch' part is spelled correct, what's it matter? It allows for fun flexibility and who could have a problem with that?

Kinda like - > 'shut uppa you face' v. 'shaddup you face'

I don't know if that quite covers it. The nnnnnnn should be drawn out a bit in verbal communication. Unless of course you use the staccato ending. Or an exclamation point. A utilitarian word. Many varieties in speech, why not in the written word?


But point taken, it probably doesn't matter how we get there.

It's not a contraction of bitching so bitchen is probably the most correct.

It most certainly is a contraction of the word bitching to many people.
Most probably never gave it a second thought, but I did. Heh heh

bitchin is slang for when you are bitching about something.

Bitchen is slang for when something is bitchen/cool.



Or is it the opposite???

Bitchen car dude.

Stop your Bitchin about the car.. dude.

aw.. I don't know. I got to go to the bitchin gym. which really isn't bitchin, but I called it bitchen rather then bitch about having to go. My body needs an oil change or a complete rebuild. One of those. :-)

BITCHEN!

Regional dialectic stylism or class superiority and arrogance? It's a tough call, but all that bolding leans me to the latter.

The correct form is b i t c h e n

It was invented in SoCal around 1958*, shortly? before


b l i n d m u n c h i e s

was derived in San Juan Capistrano


Gidget actually wrote it in her diary


* "Boy the surf was so bitchen today ..."
