The "woman-bonding" thing, however, while I've noticed this postively-derogatory name-calling regularly, it really irritates me to hear it occurring, and generally, I try to avoid such social groups that use these terms. Not that I have anything against the women who use it, but when I see it coming, I keep my mouth shut and just scuffle away quickly. It honestly grates my senses to be near this hollering of obscenities for no apparent reason other than to just do so, and call attention to themselves; I guess I just don't understand the ritual of calling my buddy, or "girlfriend" in your scenario, a bitch.
