This Is for Emphasis, Bitch



"Buffy: What are you doing here? Five words or less." Spike: (Counting them off on his fingers) Out. For. A. Walk. (realises he still has the thumb) Bitch.""

It's basically ending a sentence with a comma and "Bitch!", as a way of someone 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.

This can overlap with Quote Swear Unquote, Obligatory Swearing.

Compare (but would not overlap with) Verbal Tic, Precision F-Strike.
