Carly Fiorina inspires viewers to think up 'B-words'

GOP candidate Carly Fiorina kicked off Tuesday night’s debate by letting the audience know that she’s a fighter who’s beaten breast cancer and buried a child, and that she’s been called “every B-word in the book.” Unfortunately, that threw off a number of wordsmiths who couldn’t help but wonder just how many B-words are in the book.

"I fought my way to top of corporate America while being called every B word in the book… I've refused to accept no as answer." Fiorina.

I'm still trying to figure out what "every B word in the book" means.

Fiorina: "I've been called every B word in the book. For example, a stone cold baller." #GOPDebate

I love @CarlyFiorina at the #GOPDebate. Sorry to hear she was called every B word in the book – Boustrophedon is especially harsh.

Women’s Health magazine suggests that most women understand exactly what Fiorina meant.

@CarlyFiorina 's "I've been called every 'B' word in the book" comment was pretty solid. Most women can relate! #GOPDebate
