“Elle a fait des enfants, bien sûr. C'était ce genre de filles. Qui se rangent. Sans rien perdre de leur charme. Pas une mégère.” — She had kids, obviously. She was that kind of girl. The kind who settles down. Without losing any of their charm. Not a bitch.

After Mégère (“Megaera”), deity of vengeance, borrowed from Latin Megaera, from Ancient Greek Μέγαιρα (Mégaira). Compare Portuguese and Italian megera.
