At least in the mainstream press 'bitch' is used a lot, don´t know if it is in the streets, I haven´t heard cable TV this days, and I admit I don´t remember just now. The word is in all good dictionaries I have looked up, Collins, Cambridge etc so I am conviced that it is used this days. The Google here search here only comb in a site, you put the word, then space then site with : and it´s crawl into the site, having no bias about the outcome, you choose the best site you have the best output. I tried up-to-date, state of the art ones, the likes of Guardian, The Economist and Newsweek for a sample; albeit I know that any other good site would yield examples as well. In everyday conversation, though, I think it can be another can of worms.
