Best Answer

'Bint' is one of many words used instead of 'girl' or 'woman'. It usually implies sexual availability. It is a bit dated, it was much used by British troops during the World Wars.

Answer The word probably originates from Arabic, where it means "daughter of" (and often appears in female names in Muslim countries, as bint or binti, cognate with bin"son of"). It was picked up by British soldiers derving in the Middle East, and as suggested above, is mildly derogatory, and now dated.
