Portuguese term or phrase: sargentona
"Fica quieta e presta atenção! Eu ouvi sua tia Iris conversando a sós com a sargentona dela..."

Como se traduz isso?
Significa mulher meio masculina e autoritária (mandona, em pt), daí a associação com o posto de "sargento" na linguagem militar. Mas aqui é uma linguagem que é bem familiar, chegando a ser "chula" (vulgar).
Obrigada.
