"Pussy. Someone who is a coward. Too scared to do things and take risks. Alright, you got your fake ID ready? I don't know man, I'm not sure about this idea. What if we get caught? Aw come on, stop being such a fucking pussy and get in line."
What it means
A blunt insult for someone seen as cowardly, soft, or too scared to go through with something. It is usually thrown in matey banter or heated talk, and the tone can swing from cheeky jab to straight up disrespect depending on delivery. Common, sharp, and definitely not one for polite company or your nan's dinner table.
Usage examples
"You drove two hours for the tattoo, saw the needle, then bailed at the door? Man, do not start acting like a pussy now."
"You booked the rollercoaster, queued for forty minutes, then ducked under the bar at the loading gate. Do not act like a pussy now, mate, we paid for the picture."
"He talked the whole week about asking the boss for a raise and then walked into the meeting and asked about the printer. Total pussy move, the office is still laughing."
