   1400? Too old!
   But the insult “son of a bitch” was first attested in the 1950s..

   Thanks, Marina.

   Another 5-star video.

   West Coast USA usage in the late sixties included the word bitchin’ as a superlative meaning very good or exciting. I remember as a teen hearing my friend from California saying that he’d seen Janis Joplin singing live and that her performance was “really bitchin’!” Surfers used this word a lot to describe great waves or rides as well.

   Dear HFW-teacher.

   Do you know where the word bicce comes from?
   But I understand it’s a limit of how deep you should go on every word.

   When I was searching for the word bitch, I found out that it was from the Norrøn (Old Norwegian) “bikkja” that means female dog.
   My self and other people who speaks Norwegian uses Bikkje for female dogs, but also dogs when the sex is not known or not mentioned.

   Since Norrøn is based on the German language I searched through German but my trail stops at Bikkja from Norrøn.

   Do you know if Bikkje is based on Bicce or is it the other way around?

   You say bicce was used from around 1400. Norrøn time was from 700 - 1350. And maybe Bikkja is older than Bicce..

   The Norwegian Vikings went to England and my thought was if Bikkje became Bicce on the way over from Norway?

   Thank you for bringing the attention on the origin of different words.
   You can help many people understand how the English language is build up and where all the words comes from.

   From your Norwegian student Ole.

   I think she was referring to the dog because when the owner of that dog died the owner gave all the money to the dog.
