            As you wish. According to Wikipedia: "It is often used as a disparaging and obscene term for a woman in the United States, an unpleasant or objectionable person (regardless of gender) in the United Kingdom and Ireland, or a contemptible man in Australia and New Zealand.

            It means what you say it means in one whole country.
