    From what I can deduce (elementary my dear Watson!) it's a sort of cartoon character in the heavy metal or robot savage mould or something. Not too sure on that one.

    The sort of thing you'd see as a villain on Transformers and such - it's a very odd social phenomenon these days to cast women as hard-cased, armoured, heavily armed, talon-wielding, robotic and soul-less characters bent on world domination and destruction of all around them.........WAIT A MINUTE..............

    add the below definitions to the term female and figure it out for yourself

    Meta- (from Greek: μετά = "after", "beyond", "with", "adjacent", "self"), is a prefix used in English (and other Greek-owing languages) to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter.

    In epistemology, the prefix meta is used to mean about (its own category). For example, metadata are data about data (who has produced them, when, what format the data are in and so on). Similarly, metamemory in psychology means an individual's knowledge about whether or not they would remember something if they concentrated on recalling it. Furthermore, metaemotion in psychology means an individual's emotion about his/her own basic emotion, "or somebody else's basic emotion".[citation needed]

    Another, slightly different interpretation of this term is "about" but not "on" (exactly its own category). For example, in linguistics a grammar is considered as being expressed in a metalanguage, or a sort of language for describing another language (and not itself).

    Any subject can be said to have a meta-theory which is the theoretical consideration of its meta-properties, such as its foundations, methods, form and utility.

    In Greek, the prefix meta- is generally less esoteric than in English; Greek meta- is equivalent to the Latin words post- or ad-. The use of the prefix in this sense occurs occasionally in scientific English terms derived from Greek. For example: the term Metatheria (the name for the clade of marsupial mammals) uses the prefix meta- merely in the sense that the Metatheria occur on the tree of life adjacent to the Theria (the placental mammals).

    "Meta" is also gaining currency as an adjective, as well as a prefix, as in the work of Douglas Hofstadter (see below).
