I Write Letters

Dear English-Speaking World:

I am officially requesting immediate suspension of all further use of the truly detestable phrase "up in this bitch" as a synonym for "in here."

It is contemptible on so many levels that I would hardly know where to begin, had I the remotest inclination to explain everything that's wrong with it. Luckily, I don't. Suffice it to say, hearing people declare "it stinks up in this bitch," or "we need more beer up in this bitch," or similarly comment on whatever else they've observed about their environs (aka "this bitch") is not something I enjoy.

You might say there's a lot of disdain up in this bitch.

Please discontinue use effective immediately.

Bitchily yours,
Liss
