Even before its usage to mean \"a female canine,\" bitch didn't refer to women at all—it originated as a gender-neutral word for \"genitalia.\" A perfectly innocuous word devolving into an insult directed at females is the case for tons more terms, including hussy, which simply meant \"housewife\"; and slut, which meant \"an untidy person\" and was also used to describe men.

But one day a cat invites itself into their small kitchen. It leaves, but the next day comes again, and then again and again. Soon they are buying treats for the cat and enjoying talks about the animal and all its little ways. Life suddenly seems to have more promise for the husband and wife — the days have more light and color.

He returned to become a steam-boat pilot on the Mississippi River, close to where he had grown up. The Civil War put an end to steam-boating and Clemens briefly joined the Confederate army.
