wiatch

I heard it in the film "the convent", something like "how about I make you my wiatch"? when one of the caracters wants to take the other's power. I found this definition
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=wiatch
what does it mean exactly? when is it used?

American pronunciation/combination of witch and bitch

The link says it's a combination of "bitch" and witch" and I've heard it alot too. It comes down to the American long drawn out pronunciation of biiiiaaatch and wiiiaatch.

Hard to describe really:)

Maybe it's more of that southern US pronunciation where it's used or mimicked from....that ole Texan drawl:)

Hey y'all....have you that wiiiiaaaatch:)

To answer your exact question is just means "witch" but it's kind of like a polite was of saying "bitch" at the same time. In your context talking about taking powers it would mean witch. Another version would be "how about I make you my bee itch(bitch)" which you would hear more in prison movies...that's a whole other story:))

agree John Alphonse (X) : Not restricted to the South, "biatch" is Inner-City Black American Slang for "bitch"; agree "wiach" is the "witch" version, a play on (slang) words.

agree Ioanna Karamanou : John is 100% correct, except it's no longer restricted to inner city (i'd say it went mainstream 2yrs ago) biyatch is another way you'll see it spelled

agree Yuri Geifman : w/John & JM - this is an instance of "ebonics" having gone mainstream

agree Will Matter : Yup, it's 'witch' and 'bitch' thrown together ebonics style, but which 'witch' and whose 'bitch' remains to be determined ;0) Maybe they're a bitchy witch, with a nasty itch, from somewhere in the proverbial "ghetto".
