Bint's cool. Is it like twit?
Not really. It's Arabic for woman / girl / daughter and British soldiers who served in the Middle East around WWII adopted the word so it was absorbed into the English language. In the process, it acquired a rather derogatory undertone, more so in recent times. After the war - in the 60s and 70s I guess, it became pretty interchangeable with "bird" but still, it's not much used now. Possibly because of its Arabic origins.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/view/entry/m_en_gb0078360#m_en_gb007836 I'm enjoying Rabbit's Paw... although, with five rabbits dependent on me for their dandelions, I'm a bit worried about the Paw.
Thank you to whoever put the paragraph breaks in, though!
When I first see a solid block of text, I am put off even when I want to read. Usually I copy and paste the blocks into Word and put in my own paras and then read but I don't always have time to do that.

If only I'd been in a position to raise my son. Maybe he'd be alive today, a boy as terrific as Peter.
Nah, he'd still be dead. The aliens would have made him a target - Ed would never have been able to keep John safe...
...from the scriptwriters.
