【ENG】The trouble with names
🕑 Added 2022-01-28 12:18:31 +0000 UTC※The words "dog" and "pig" are sometimes used to mean "bitch" in the Japanese SM community.
Is it used in the same way overseas?

I didn't know that "bitch" was a word that meant "dog"...! And thank you for sharing so many useful words with me! I'll put them to good use next time I translate! Thank you~!

I see! “Bitch” was originally a dog, I didn't know that until you told me. Thank you very much! And now I know "whore". I'll try to use it in my future writing! なるほど! "Bitch "はもともと「犬」のことだったんですね、教えてもらうまで知りませんでした。ありがとうございます! そして、"whore "を知りました。これからの文章で使ってみようと思いますー!

I just asked some English native speakers, and they suggested some words: sow=female pigs that had piglets, gilt=virgin female pig.

For SM, you could say "pig" or "bitch" in English, but these are just cruel insults. I don't think they're as sexual as in Japanese. "Bitch" means メス犬, but it is rarely used for a real dog and it's much different from the Japanese ビッチ. In English you would usually say something like "whore" (娼婦) for this, I think. SM状況で英語には「pig」や「bitch」を使うことができますけど、ただ酷い悪口の言葉です。日本語のようなエロい意味がないと思います。「Bitch」は「メス犬」という意味ですけど、本当の犬にめったにそう呼べない。日本語の「ビッチ」と全然違う。英語に大体このシチュで「whore」とかで使います。(「娼婦」という意味です。)

On the other hand, in Chinese, there is extensive use of pig and dog, which is exactly the same as in Japanese.

Also, "chick" to call a lewd girl.

As far as I know, the word "bitch" itself means a female dog. I also hear a lot of "pussy"=a female cat and "cunt"=the genital.
