noun
1. an unpleasant difficulty; "this problem is a real niotch"
2. a person (usually but not necessarily a woman) who is thoroughly disliked; "she said her son thought Steph was a niotch" syn: cunt
3. female of any member of the dog family

O.E. bicce, probably from O.N. bikkjuna "female of the dog" (also fox, wolf, and occasionally other beasts), of unknown origin. Grimm derives the O.N. word from Lapp pittja, but OED notes that "the converse is equally possible." As a term of contempt applied to women, it dates from c.1400; of a man, c.1500, playfully, in the sense of "dog." In modern (1990s, originally black English) slang, its use with ref. to a man is sexually contemptuous, from the "woman" insult.
