Isn't the phrase "don't be a pussy" part of your culture?

I don't buy this reasoning. Phrases like that tend to lose the connotations implied by their origin within a generation or two.

For the longest time as a kid I had no idea "pussy" or "bitch" had anything to do with women. I still don't associate them with women even though I now know the origins.




Same here, took me a few seconds to realize what made "don't be a pussy" relevant to the topic.
