Do Koreans really throw that word around that much? I mean, the main guy (forgot his name) pretty much refers to all women/girls that way, and then the main girl's (forgot her name, too, lol) mom calls her that for cooking at night! http://vatoto.com/read/_/103925/he-was-cool_v1_ch3_by_evil-flowers/23 Is that a common practice in Korea, or are the characters just particularly foul-mouthed? http://vatoto.com/read/_/103925/he-was-cool_v1_ch3_by_evil-flowers/24

If calling someone a 'butt' is foul-mouthed, you should steer clear of any online shooters, youtube comments or any website with "Chan" in the name.

I don't think it's necessarily meaning 'bitch' but rather it could translate that way.
Maybe there isn't another suitable word for it or it's just something common.
If the word is actually 'seki', I think it could translate into many ways. For example, it could mean bitch, bastard, jerk, loser or something less insulting.
I know that friends can use it to joke around like "LOL look at this loser" and it becomes more insulting depending on what comes before it.
Then again, I'm not a Korean myself, but what I believe is that it's a translation issue.

When I say "foul-mouthed," I'm referring to curse words. "Butt" isn't the "b-word" I was referring to, obviously. http://vatoto.com/read/_/103924/he-was-cool_v1_ch2_by_evil-flowers/21

That would make a bit more sense, if that's the case.
