bitch/hard woman


Explanation:
I think I prefer hard woman, as bitch implies more than cabrona, and we don't admire bitches but you could admire a hard woman or a cabrona

Biatch is a pronunciation of bitch, which became popular through its frequent use in rap music and by black comedians. The pronunciation was first started by the rapper Too $hort. In his song Blow the Whistle, $hort states, "I heard 93 rappers say bitch like me 2 singers and 10 comedians And I'm still gon' yell it every time you see me in What's my favorite word? BIATCH! Why they gotta say it like $hort? BIATCH!" Beeotch, Beyotch, Byotch, Beyatch are other ways of spelling the Biatch pronunciation of "bitch."
