Mandy, can you explain the expression Li 'pa manje anyen frèt'? thanks!

Pa manje anyen frèt (literally who do not eat anything cold)to be a spitfire, to be a hell raiser, to be of very strong will and conviction, to be bold and daring.

Don't play with that lady.  She's a little spitfire.
Pa jwe ak fanm sa.  Li pa manje anyen frèt non.
