[Ads-l] cowardless

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

Looks like a lexical blend: "cowardly" + "gutless".

Means 'cowardly' to someone, prob. infl. by "cowardice."

CNN plays a death threat phoned in to a Democratic party official calling her a
"cowardless piece of shit."

The caller sounds sober, btw.

Seemingly many raw Google hits.
