coining

My fella and I were trying to think of a gender neutral or at least not so gender loaded term to express a similar sentiment as "bitch". My most recent nomination is "baldwin".

As in "That girl who stole my paper towels in the women's room today is such a fucking baldwin!"

I admit it's a little phontically rough on the adjectival and verbal forms.
Adj. "Oooh, someone's being baldwiny!"
V. trans. "My professor totally baldwined me (out) about missing the make up exam."

I'm thinking possibly "baldwinine" for the adjective. It could be shortened to simply "baldwine".
And "baldwinate" or "baldw(h)ined" for the verb.
