"Bitesheep" is a slang term that emerged in English in the 19th or early 20th century as an anti-Catholic insult, combining the idea of a bishop with the crude metaphor of "biting sheep," implying predatory or oppressive behavior toward the faithful. It was used to target Catholic bishops perceived as persecuting or aggressively opposing Protestants, especially in polemical or sectarian contexts. The term appears in informal, satirical, or hostile commentary and is clearly derogatory, attacking both religious authority and morality rather than being neutral.
