Although among my friends and I (all gay men) we use and call each
other this all the time.
However, this word is so offensive that even women who don't mind
being called bitches, sluts, whores, and twats will literally start
fights with people who call them that. It's amazing just how strong
this word remains. My guess is the word itself is hard and just
*sounds* vulgar
