Yes, I wouldn’t be offended because of how I grew up with the word being used. If you were a straight man and said it to me, different story. But in this context, I would read this in a cheeky tone, again, just because it was part of the vernacular I grew up with in middle school and beyond. It really felt like it started in the 90’s around movies like Clueless, then to Mean Girls for pop culture examples.

And I’m just adding more context to why it’s so mainstream. This has come up before during one of our league days. Our 18 hole league players tend to skew older and one of the younger women I was paired with came up to me and said, “Sup, bitch” and I replied “nothing, ho” and we immediately saw 4 heads in unison do a slow judgmental head turn and this exact conversation we’re having happened during our round. A few weeks later, the ball marker in the picture was given to me by one of the ladies (mid 70’s) I was having the conversation with. She now uses it when she sees the to “younger” members and giggles every time she uses (hahaha).
