i'm writing a paper on slang terms from a british novel we read. one word i found was "tussle" and when i look it up it says it means a fight. but the sentence in the book was along the lines of "apart from being alone for 3 years i had a drunken tussle with a guy here or there" and thats a girl speaking so i assumed it meant that she would hook-up with guys not fight them. any idea? any british people who know what it means? (link)

I agree that it's not really a British term. Merriam-Webster had this to say:
1 : a physical contest or struggle : scuffle
2 : an intense argument, controversy, or struggle
...and, girls not getting drunk and fighting? Clearly you haven't seen any one of a half dozen TV shows. (Grin)
