bint

Slang for woman

Bint is British slang for a girl or woman, often carrying dismissive or mildly derogatory overtones: Some bint from the office called while you were out.

The word comes from Arabic, where it simply means daughter or girl, and entered English through British military presence in the Middle East.

Now dated and somewhat offensive.
