Wuss
Definition 1 of 1
Pro Tip 1/3
Emotional Charge
Used to express disapproval for not meeting expected standards of strength or bravery. He didn't even apply for the job—he's such a wuss.
Pro Tip 2/3
Informal Expression
Common in casual conversations among friends or in popular media, but not in formal settings. Yeah, I tapped out of the hot wing challenge. I'm a total wuss with spicy food.
Pro Tip 3/3
Avoid Insults
Can be seen as an insult if used about someone directly, especially if not in a joking context. He was offended when I called him a wuss for not watching the horror movie.
