Often called just Bella, she was recongnizable everywhere by her big hats and a voice that Norman Mailer said "could boil the fat off a taxicab driver's neck."
This is a short paragraph about Bella Abzug, but I can not fully understand this part.
What does "boil the fat off a taxicab driver's neck" mean in this sentence?
