bad girl

She breaks rules

Bad girl describes a woman or girl who defies conventional expectations of feminine behavior—someone rebellious, sexually forward, or otherwise rule-breaking.

The term carries different weight depending on who's speaking: disapproving when used by authority figures, playful or admiring in other contexts.

She had a bad girl reputation in high school.

In sexual contexts, it's often flirtatious or provocative: You've been a bad girl.
