: In an old Simpson's cartoon, Homer and Marge were at a weekend marriage retreat and an English man had stated that his wife was a "Queen of the Harpee's" . What's the English slang "Harpee" mean?

Harpies. Not slang, but a terrifying female mythological creature, combining the head of a woman, the body of a bird, and a nasty attitude.
