Cry Baby - Common insult for a person who whines too much and is always afraid to do things.
Mama's Boy - If you call someone a Mama's boy it basically means they need their mothers to protect them or they are overly attached to their mothers and cannot take their own decisions.
Cream Puff - It is a pastry filled with custard or whipped cream and is used as insult as it denotes femininity.
Pigeon hearted - Again this is a slang used for a person who gets scared very easily.
Grow a pair of balls - It is quite a vulgar term and it literally means that having testicles is being masculine. So if you say Grow a pair of balls it actually means be a man and don't be a coward.
Gutless - Having guts (organs) is generally used as a term of endearment for someone who is very brave so being gutless refers to one's cowardice.
Worm - This term is commonly used by the Army people for cowards.
