someone who runs away or abandons his responsibilities or obligations during times of danger, distress, pain, or fear of the unknown; someone whose concern is only for himself
No man abandons his family w/o warning during times of suffering, that is what you call a coward.
A term used in Australia. A very hard punch, usually delivered to the head, that is completely unexpected. Most often results in knock outs or knock downs. Viewed upon by most as an act of cowardice. Simmilar in meaning to king hit and sucker punch.
Dont call it a king hit, cause it's a coward punch!
