In her opening statements at Tuesday night’s Republican debate, Carly Fiorina said she “fought my way to the top of corporate America while being called every B-word in the book.” Of course, everyone knows what one of those B-words might be (it rhymes with “witch,”) but what other b-words could Fiorina be talking about?
