لبوة (Labwa)

"whore / slut / wild woman"

Literally 'lioness' — but used as slang for a sexually aggressive, uninhibited woman. The animal metaphor is telling: a lioness hunts, is physically powerful, and chooses her own mates. In a culture that expects women to be passive and chaste, a 'labwa' is a woman who acts with male-coded sexual agency. The word is simultaneously an insult (she's shameless) and carries a grudging undertone of dangerous attractiveness.
