Hi jeanfitz - Can't help you, sorry. Perhaps if you used them in a sentence? They appear to be self explanatory.
JGoldman - Not really, just the generic "bully" "scrapper" etc. but they are not gender specific terms. I quizzed the teenagers in my house...they offered "gangster chick," and/or "gangster girl," but were obviously reaching.

Why are Royal Mounties referred to as barnburners?
Why are Royal Mounties referred to as barnburners?
i seem to recall that sometime during the 1960's the mounties were accused of having set a barn afire and used it later as evidence against someone to nail him. haven't heard the term "barnburner" before . i believe that this incidence took place in the prairies, so that term might possibly be in use there. hbg
