Someone who is a ‘bit ch’eap is selfish and presumptuous.

It is interesting that the ‘N’ word to which you refer has only become pejorative in the 19th century and beyond. Its early use was not considered offensive by either users of the word or those thus described. Its origin is probably from the Latin for the word for black: niger. The spanish for black is ***** [Edit – haha Yahoo starred the word I put in here – wow! It was clearly starting with an ‘n’ ending with an ‘o’ a ‘g’ in the middle plus an ‘e’ & an ‘r’!]. I guess that if it is used nowadays, because it went out of fashion as a normal term so long ago, it can only have an offensive or ridiculing intent, so it is hardly unexpected that those of black African descent would take offense. However within their own society, particualrly street and rap society, it is bound to be acceptable under friendly conditions, but it can still be used offensively between one and another if they so choose- it is the intonation and intent that comes across. Again, the use of the terms bitches and hoes would never be heard in polite black African company. It is street and rap talk, and is used for a specific effect. If you hear a non-black describing their female partner as a ***** [darn it you know what I mean] or a hoe, it is much more shocking because it is simply not part of our general vocabulary, and it is the youth culture that roams the streets in hoods for instance (all races) that have picked up on the rap culture and in looking for a rebellious, non-affiliated, non-traditional, unique and immediate way of expressing themselves have allied themselves to what is often seen as a less than acceptable style and vocabulary in order to make their mark so to speak.
