feisty

Typically used nowadays to describe a smallish woman who is either opinionated and aggressive or plucky and spirited.

The word originates from a combination of the Old English word fyst meaning to fart and the German "fist" a small excitable dog.

That Janeane Garofalo is a feisty old bird, farts like a dog too.
