Chickenshits.

Then there's also wimpy dogs, obsequious mutts.

I woke up with a frown and y’all put a smile on my face. I love it. I stepped in chickenshit when I was growing up. Not too pleasant.

A side question here if you please::what does lily livered mean?

The Russian dirt angle is there too.
Seriously, are they more concerned about being primaried or they literally in fear for themselves and their family?

“Chickenshit refers to behavior that makes military life worse than it need be: petty harassment of the weak by the strong; open scrimmage for power and authority and prestige; sadism thinly disguised as necessary discipline; a constant 'paying off of old scores'; and insistence on the letter rather than the spirit of ordinances.”

― Paul Fussell, Wartime: Understanding and Behaviour in the Second World War

Seditious Co-conspirators.

And “All of the Above”, too.

At least chicken shit is useful as plant fertilizer.

Ah, yeaaa.

absolute most worthless species of the human race.

they were sent to the principals office were you could expect a paddling, from the paddle that was on the wall right next to his office door. Lily livered, yellow belly low life, and stink bomb (fart), were sayings I remember. We couldn't even say fart. The teachers provided yard duty, so no one could get away with anything.
