bolshie
Willfully difficult person
Bolshie (also bolshy) is British slang for deliberately uncooperative or rebellious: She got bolshie when they asked her to work late.
The word derives from Bolshevik but has lost most of its political edge, now describing anyone stubbornly resistant to authority or requests.
It carries a tone of exasperated affection rather than genuine hostility.
