Spanish

A bitchy person is someone who often acts mean-spiritedly or unfairly towards others. They might complain about small things, get angry easily, and not care if they hurt people's feelings.

The word "bitchy" is often used to describe how someone behaves, especially in a social situation. You might hear someone say, "She was being really bitchy at the party last night," meaning that she was acting unfairly or unkindly towards others. It can be a strong word, so it's not usually used to describe a person you don't know well, but rather someone you have a relationship with.
