It's a word look it up and it is not a dirty word, it means Lacking courage; cowardly.
I guess some of you need a dictionary to play.. :roll:
I just looked it up, :???: I need to call my sister as it was in a text book of my neice's who is in the 7th grade and I was helping her with her homework on ww2 and that was used to refer to the Europeans first reaction to the Nazis when they first started targeting the Jewish population. I don't think that should be used in a text book if it is supposedly a bad word, I just thought it was a word I had never heard of.
