  •  It's just means a weakling or a wimp to me. (0+ / 0-)

    Nothing sexist there. Although it does generally get used for wimpy men, it seems to work for a power woman that's acting wimpy.

    •  Wussy is to pussy as (0+ / 0-)

      shoot is to shit.
      Wuss or wussy really are not appropriate put down terms for a woman.  Really.
      And calling a man that is basically calling him feminine, which implies you believe being feminine is a sign of weakness and an insult.
      I didn't TR you, just saying you shouldn't use the term.  But, you're choice.  My opinion.

      John McCain says he'd be happy to see our troops in Iraq for another hundred years. I just can't agree with that.

        insult. In my opinion deserved. But I don't agree that it means the same as pussy. But I probably will never use the word again here. Because W-S sounds the same as wuss when you read it phonetically, I couldn't resist. It wouldn't work with any other name, I don't think.
