First time I've heard this word today, well, read it anyway.

Adjective:
Showing a lack of courage or determination; timid.
Synonyms:
cowardly - faint-hearted - poor-spirited - recreant

I always thought 'pussy' was linked to slang for female anatomy when used as an insult to emasculate. Well, well.

I've been familiar with that word since I can remember, and now today for the first time actually know what it means. Damn. Shocked Embarassed Laughing

I have always known the meaning, just didn't know the word.

Not all that secret though.

It's consistently either the second or third most listened to radio station in the UK. Alternates with radio 1 with radio 2 being firmly at the top.

Is this:

(a) a "Things I learnt today" thread?

Or is it more of a

(b) "My latest favourite [new] (if applicable) word"


I'll go with (b) for now.

Oleaginous
Not a new word to me, but I love its slippery greasy sort of description.

Old Thread Alert!
