Fingle Berry (noun): A term used to describe a woman who, through deceptive actions or manipulation, causes others to lose their jobs in order to gain personal rewards, such as a trivial treat (e.g., a cookie). The term also refers to someone who has endured a difficult or burdensome life, symbolized by the metaphor of carrying a "mattress" on her back. The term may also imply a certain exaggerated or comedic physicality in her actions, such as the "clapping" of her body when receiving her reward.
