I would like some non-Mandarin Chinese slang translations-please help

[Mavericker]

Hello. I'm interested in and am doing research on Cantonese, Shanghainese, Hokkien and Hakka youth, street and college slang.

What are Cantonese, Shanghainese, Hokkien and Hakka slangs for:

tough guy

tough girl

tough woman

female prone to fighting?

Please list as many slang translations as possible. Thank you.

Is "titicaca" a Chinese term?

[Mavericker]

I was told that "ying han", or "ying han zi" are Cantonese slangs for "tough guy". Is this correct?

[Mavericker]

Does anyone here know any other Cantonese slangs for "tough guy" besides 'da jai,' 'Tai Lou' and 'Tai Koh' nad 'lan jie'? Please let me know.

I appreciate everyone's help with my Mandarin slang topic-this thead is a continuaition of that-asking for language help in other Chinese dialects, for a research project I'm working on. Can you all please help me out. I'd apprecaite your help.

[Mavericker]

The reason I am doing this topic, is because I'm interested in other dialects on Chinese. I'm writing a comic book, and I'm using these terms to name my characters with.

Can anyone here who speaks Cantonese and other Chinese dialects please help me out?

I went elsewhere asking for Taiwanese Hokkien transaltions, and I git the following:

person prone to fighting

相扑雞

sio1-phah4-ke1 or sio1-phah4-kue1 (lit. fighting cock)

girl prone to fighting

赤諸某

tshiah4-tsa1-boo2

tomboy

諸夫生

tsa1-poo1-senn1 or tsa1-poo1-sinn1

tough (adj.)

儼硬

giam2-nge7 or giam2-ngi7

Is there a noun I can use with giam2-nge7 or giam2-ngi7 to make these terms nouns?

[grimacekid]

"female prone to fighting" well, is that 男人婆 in Cantonese? I am just answering this in a jokey way, please do not take it seriously,

I think for a while for the other three but really have no idea what they should be in Cantonese.... mmm.......

bad girls la se1 -----------la sai would be more accurate

bad boy liu3 maang1 -------liu 2 mang 1

elder brother gu1 gu / ah gu1 -

younger brother di di1 / ah di1
