Buffy: What are you doing here? Five words or less.
Spike: [counting them off on his fingers] Out. For. A. Walk. [realizes he still has the thumb] Bitch.
It's ending a sentence with a comma and "Bitch!" (no other swear word, just "bitch"), as a way of verbally making an exclamation point in dialog.
It did get overused, so now it's a Discredited Trope. You're as likely as not to see it thrown in a sentence just to be funny, even though there is no other reason to emphasize a point this way. Bitch.
This does not count when merely calling someone a bitch. This is about using it as a form of verbal punctuation. If there is anything between the comma and "bitch", it doesn't count.example
This can overlap with Quote Swear Unquote, Obligatory Swearing.
Compare (but would not overlap with) Verbal Tic, Precision F-Strike.
Spike: [counting them off on his fingers] Out. For. A. Walk. [realizes he still has the thumb] Bitch.
