Language variant: 无礼 or 冒失的女人
Explanation:
You asked this question a couple of times, using other terms> What exactly is the term you are looking for? Do you have the Chinese word? Hope you can share the term and have other translator comment on the term.
For your information, saucy, impudent and bold are synonymous to shameless.
If shameless girl is what you are looking for, it is 不知廉耻的女人。
and spoken Hokkien would say (use pinyin pronunciation)
BUE-1 HIAO-3 PAI-2 SE-4 E-4 ZA-1 BO-1

common denominator for all the adjectives above is a girl who is shamelessly bold or forward. I believe 不知廉耻的女人 will do.
another way to say it would be:
xia-1 pai-4 ZA-1 BO-1
