German language question

[Hans]

An American might call someone, 'a yellow stinking coward' and a Brits might say, a 'bloody windy bastard', what would a German say?

[Lucho]

"Arschloch" ?

[Hans]

Thanks er, what does it mean?

[Lucho]

"*******"

[mike8g]

"Ein elender Feigling!"

[Lucho]

"Feige Sau!" , "Verfluchter Idiot/Feigling/...!"
There are a lot of combinations, but adjectives and adverbs align/adapt to its objects or subjects.

[Hans]

Good but a term a German would use for another German suffering from a lack of courage would be best - unless its up there already....

[Joachim]

"Feigling" = "coward"
"elend" increases it in this context. So mike8g is absolutely correct.

Danke, I will put that phrase to good use.
