Backward semi-whiplash

My sister has this habit of suddenly yelling out. Well, I don't really yell unless you provoke me. And that rarely happens. Most of the time, I yell out basically to get even, when the other person's start yelling at me. So a whiela go, I yelled at my sister to make her stop yelling bitchily while I'm patiently trying to talk to her calmly. I was facing the computer and she was standing beside me. She can't get that implying something is the same as meaning that something... she does the whole stubborn pilosopo routine/litany of "Parang lang yun, hindi yun mismo. Parang lang." So I turned back and yelled at her out of frustration, "It's just the same, and stop yelling at me, bitch!"

I guess I would have to be blamed if she goes running around calling her enemies bitches. heh Hey, she's in 6th grade already anyway. But yeah, I know... It's not really a good thing. Well, I always say bitch mindlessly and in a joking manner anyway. And I only use it in on my friends or when with friends because they're the ones who do it as well, who know me, and would understand the context in which I (or they) use bitch. These are some daily scenario:

*I kick Marvin jokingly*
Marvin: You bitch *runs after me*

*I say something*
Dixi: Why!? Why you bitch?

*Neil fires a series of out-of-this-world corny jokes*
Me: Stop it you bitch, you're killing us.

It's basically nothing to me. So don't worry, I don't go around telling everybody that ticks me off "I 'hate' you bitch." Besides, I rarely hate anybody. When I get annoyed, it's usually over by the next day (unless it's something major and "unforgiveable"). I just hope my sister understands that bitch is not a word you use too lightly on just any person, especially in this world of still-semi-conservative filipinos.

Well, after that a friend of hers (my sister's) called. Before that she was crying over the phone with another friend (er, she was crying over the person she was talking to actually). So I tell that friend of hers (the second one who called), "I thought you're Cher again. SHe was just crying over the phone while talking to Cher." And then my sister grabs the phone and gives me a semi-whiplash, only backwards. (To which I replied a "What did you do that for, HUH!?" while threatening to bang the PC keyboard on her.) My neck still hurts. And I had a spine-neck injury before.

Oh, and by the way, she matched that semi-backward whiplash with a loud "bitch"... tss, the bitch. (haha just kidding ;))

And the whole bitch litany... some people can be sensitive about the word, that's why. ;)
Sorry for this extra-mindless post. I'm not creating a hype out of the word 'bitch', just venting out. (And trying to distract my senses away from my hurting neck.)
