I must quote Dr. Sowder here, past professor of American Literature at Longwood.

When lecturing us 18-year-olds (centuries ago) on the evil of gossip, he smiled his huge-lipped smile and said,

The definition of a bitch is a woman who must tell the truth..

I always liked thinking about that definition and noticing, centuries since, how often that definition has proven to be true.
