Definition
婊子 is a highly offensive noun that literally denotes a prostitute but is predominantly used as a vicious insult toward women, equivalent to 'bitch' or 'whore' in English. In modern Chinese it is almost never used as a neutral occupational term; its primary function is as a curse word. Learners should recognize its strong taboo status and avoid using it in any context.
