"Virago" was a strong, brave, or warlike woman (from Latin "vir", "a man," compare Tomboy). The term was later used to refer to a noisy, bossy, and scolding woman. It is closely related to termagant, which is a quarrelsome, scolding woman and shrew, which is a nagging woman.
The two meanings have led to the word's use as names for: Virago Press, a British press publishing women's literature. Yamaha Virago is a series of motorcycles. Virago is also the name of a spaceship in the Star Wars series of films. A super hero in Green Arrow "Sounds of Violence" killed by Onomatopoeia |

Misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than felonies; but theoretically more so than administrative infractions (also known as regulatory offenses). In the United States, the federal government generally considers a crime punishable by a year or less to be a misdemeanor. All other crimes are felonies. In some jurisdictions, those who are convicted of a misdemeanor are known as misdemeanants (as contrasted with those convicted of a felony who are known as felons). Depending on the jurisdiction, examples of misdemeanors may include: petty theft, prostitution, public intoxication, simple assault, disorderly conduct, trespass, vandalism, and other similar crimes. In the United States, misdemeanors are crimes with a maximum punishment of 12 months of incarceration, typically in a local jail (again, as contrasted with felons, who are typically incarcerated in a prison). Those people who are convicted of misdemeanors are often punished with probation, community service or part-time imprisonment, served on the weekends. |
