Etymology

Derived from the Hindi/Urdu word "kutiya" (कुतिया), the feminine form of "kutta" (कुत्ता, dog), from Sanskrit "kurkura." The literal meaning is a female dog; its use as a gendered insult directed at women follows the same semantic shift seen in the English "bitch."

Cultural notes

"Kutiya" is one of the most common gendered profanities in Hindi and is widely understood across the Indian subcontinent. It functions much like "bitch" in English — both as a direct insult to a woman and, less commonly, as an intensifier. The word appears frequently in Bollywood films and Indian street speech, giving it broad cultural recognition despite its vulgarity.
