Amazing how a word originally, and sensibly, meaning "causing great terror or fear" has been turned end for end and upside down. Dick Cheney is a terrible man and Barack Obama is terrific.

26. "Bitchen'" was very popular in California when I was in high school in the 1970s.

That's one way I can identify someone who grew up in California, when they use "bitchen'" to indicate something is terrific, great, fantastic, perfect, etc.

28. I moved to California in 1965 from NJ. The first time a male referred to me as "bitchin"

I was flabbergasted.

It was an insult on the east coast.

30. Yes I can understand why people can be confused by it.

Another expression that was popular was "bitchen-ay!" As a single interjection of delight or pleasure at something.
