Usage examples

    You are such a bitch!

Etymology

From Bengali কুত্তি (kutti), the feminine diminutive form of কুত্তা (kutta, "dog"), itself derived from Sanskrit कुक्कुर (kukkura, "dog"). The feminising suffix -i/-ii transforms the neutral canine noun into a gendered pejorative, a pattern found in several South Asian languages where the feminine form of "dog" functions as an insult directed at women.

Cultural notes

In Bengali-speaking communities across West Bengal and Bangladesh, kutti (kuttii) is a well-understood strong insult. The dog carries a low social status in traditional South Asian culture, making canine comparisons particularly offensive. The term is directed exclusively or primarily at women and is considered highly inappropriate in any formal, familial, or polite context.
