How much more chicken is chickenshit compared to chicken?
Is it more chicken than lily-livered, or less chicken?
And what about yellow-bellied? Is that more chicken than chicken or chickenshit?
Would jaundice turn your belly yellow? I know that it turns your eyes yellow, right?
Most people cover their bellies. You’d think that if it were jaundice, they’d say yellow-eyed.
But most people are too chickenshit to ask to see someone’s belly.
And unless you have expensive equipment, you can’t see the color of someone’s liver without opening them up.
Not that you’d open them up, you yellow-bellied, lily-livered chickenshit.
