rhymes-with-rich

noun

Etymology

From a reporter’s conversation in 1984 with Barbara Bush, who said of Geraldine Ferraro, “I can’t say it, but it rhymes with rich.” Despite Bush’s later assertion that the word she had been avoiding was witch, the phrase has been generally interpreted as a euphemism for bitch.
