tough pussy

An oxymoron,refers to someone who trys acting tough, but is really as soft as a pussy.

This guy I know named Rap acts really tough around his other friends, but when he is by himself he is a pussy, therefore he is a tough pussy.

tough crowd

This was a Rodney Dangerfield line. He may or may not have coined it, but he made it uniquely his; he'd nervously adjust his tie while saying it.

A lot of his lines got into the wider lexicon, though younger people may not know who he was. He played the crazy ultra-rich guy in "Caddyshack".

"I told a cab driver to take me where the action was, and he took me to MY house!"

(No laughter)

(Nervously adjusts tie) "Oh, tough crowd, tough crowd..."

tough-talk

speaking in a tone intended to threaten your subject or audience, for the sole purpose of coercing them into believing or doing something; threaten. Common among politicians, law enforcement, gangsters, wiseguys, athletes, coaches, teachers. Best when used subtly.

Subtle tough-talk: (After being cut off by a freshly-licensed driver, at the red light, I got out of my car and went up to the driver's window). " You keep driving like that and someone's going to get hurt, and it isn't going to be me."

Overt tough-talk: "Oh, you don't understand me? No problemo, my fist speaks five languages."

Tough love

Tough love is not going around trying show people how heavy handed you are, people who do that are bullshit. Tough love comes from the same thing compassion comes from, the difference is tough love doesn't take it easy on anybody.

There's a difference between showing tough love to somebody and trying to silence or kill anybody who doesn't see things your way because you dont like the way they think, that's not tough love, its bullshit.
