- uh, dude try:

...... 2. words used to describe a woman that tend to be derogatory. If
this
escapes you, think of what it would mean if you used the words "bitch"
or
"pussy" to describe a guy.

PG:
I'm with you Sarah, but just to split hairs, "pussy" was not being used
to describe a woman; it is being used to describe a woman's genitals
(actually, I guess it was used to describe some "fresh" music, which
totally escapes me how that works, but...).

Actually, I mean, if we're going to talk about genitals, I prefer the
use of the word pussy over the use of the word vagina any day. But I'm
not a woman and consequently, I can not be expected to be as
intelligent. Everyone knows women are smarter. It's just sad that women
post less frequently than the guys on this list; because we could learn
more from them if they would speak up more often (I'm serious about this
- I'm not being facetious, despite my tone in the rest of this post).

But back to pussy...I get kind of tingly just saying it: p-u-s-s-y. See?
You try it. It feels good to say it. It makes my lips numb just thinking
about it. It feels much better to say pussy than to say cock (who
doesn't like cats more than roosters?). It may be a tie between pussy
and johnson (which definitely imparts some much needed humor with
reference to male genitalia), but there's no contest between pussy and
cock. Pussy wins every time. This is all fairly subjective though...

Of course, the idea of using the word to describe my music (or anyone's
music really)...well, wow - I can't really imagine doing that; it
wouldn't come naturally.  Using the "b" word, however, is out of bounds
- no doubt about it. Although when I was a kid I must admit I said,
"That black Corvette is bitchin'!" quite a lot...we all have our sins to
atone for, apparently.
