English term or phrase: strong female
Hello. I am interested in and am doing research on Chinese youth, street and college slang. What is Chinese slang for a "physically strong female" besides "tong xing lian (Mandarin)" and "saan1 dung1 po4* (Cantonese)"? Please let me know. Please use Romanized Chinese. Thank you. :D
