"Bitch" is a slightly inaccurate translation in that "Miststück" is a non-gender-specific insult, though the context of the song makes it clear that the "Miststück" is a female. Miststück literally means "piece of ".
"Jordan" is named for the expression "to cross the Jordan" (a river in the Levant), meaning "to die".
