A girl who is strong, independent, and capable of standing up for herself. She's probably into sports and/or rock 'n' roll and is a bit of a tomboy, but not butch. Generally, she is well respected and admired by men and women alike.

Tough girl: "I'm not afraid to hit a man. I don't give a fu-"

(some guy who's sick of her mouth then pounds her in the face.)
