French term or phrase: défonceuse
En un cortometraje, un niño cree que tiene superpoderes y ve llegar en un auto muy pequeño Mme. Chabauty (una mujer mayor) y dice:

Mes super-pouvoirs m'avaient aveuglé pour ne pas avoir reconnu le char d'assaut de l'ennemi n° 1 de notre rue, Mme Chabauty, la **défonceuse** de poubelles.

¿Se les ocurre a qué puede referirse?
Gracias por su ayuda y Felices Fiestas.

desfondadora


Explanation:
Une défonceuse est un outil, mais cette dame semble par ailleurs avoir l'habitude de "défoncer" les poubelles avec son véhicule. Je vous suggère donc l'image à double sens qui me semble la plus proche.
