a person, especially a woman, who habitually nags or blames others, finds faults or gets into arguments with others over simple or unimportant things;
a (woman) nag,
a typical scold, scolding somebody
Oh, come on! Don’t be such a scold; this is a simple matter and we can make it straight talking it over.
Now there are always some scolds who go on criticising others’ activities, forgetting that they are the ones that annoy others with their constant rambling and not the other way round.
Now the women rights activists are questioning the use of calling women ‘nags and scolds’ for talking about their rights openly and for pointing out the ‘faults’ of the men!
