Chinese slang and terminology
Hello. I'm interested in Chinese youth, street and college slang terminology that's used for people. What are Chinese (youth) slang terms (Hakka, Mandarin, Cantonese, etc.) for a "Tough female"? When you post your responses and peer comments please use Romanized Chinese so I can understand what you are talking about, and please post as many slang terms as possible. Thank you. :D

八辣妹／婆
The following ones are from Cantonese
八辣妹 ba1 la4 mei4 this one is for younger women
八辣婆 ba1 la4 po2 this is for older ones
八婆 ba1 po2
殘雞婆 can2 ji1 po2
Please keep in mind that these are not the terms you want to use， trust me， if in fact you are trying to curry favor with your powerful and revengeful boss who happens to wear skirts

Because these are rather offensive terms.
There is a term for female gang leader, pkchan has already listed it, "大家姐〞.
