Fierce

the combination of a positive mental spirit, bold words and unapologetic actions used collectively.

A term that gay men used in the late 1990s and early 2000s to describe absolutely everything that was of "exceptional quality".

Girl who is on fire and posseses too much swag for the common man or woman to handle: Ineui Yang

A word that can describe something as outstanding, really cool, eye catching, brutal and satisfying

A term mostly used by gay men to describe something good (example 1) or the way someone is dressed (example 2 and 2a). The tone of voice also matters (especially in example 2a)

Since Tyra Banks' bastardized inception of the term into everyday housewife banter; gays have since denounced it. The only people that use it are middle school wannabees, straight women who think they're "down" and poser fashionista's. Anything that is to be considered "fierce" is pretty much mainstream to us gays.

Fierce is a word used to describe strong women, however it also infers that a woman isn’t acting as we expect her to. Fierce is a particularly problematic sexist term, as it is often reserved for women of colour and reinforces the ‘angry black woman’ stereotype.
