To “get cold feet” means to lose your desire or nerve to do something. Often people “get cold feet” because they get nervous.
For example, sometimes the bride or groom might not show up to their wedding because they’ve gotten cold feet.

considering backing out of your situationship when you realize that no matter how passionate he is, that he will never actually own his shit and give you the whole truth and nothing but the truth, no matter how understanding and easy going you are

imagine that u are on a desert island w/ 4 other survivors of some shipwreck and there is no fresh water anywhere and it hasnt rained since u crashed. then on the 5th day on the island u see a hole in the ground and u think it could be connected to some groundwater but u can't really see. ur team needs to send someone down there to check it out so u volunteer and theyre attaching some sort of apparatus made from tree bark to your chest and getting ready to draw you down into the hole. but then u remember the eerie shrieks and whispers that u heard the night before and the night before that and then u remember that one night u had that strange dream where u were wandering in the jungle and the whispers were louder than usual. u could almost make them out softly saying "come down" and when u remember that dream ur legs grow stiff as an easel and all of the blood from your body retreats into your torso out of pure fear. and as u feel the cold hard ground under your feet start to creep up to the point where you can't feel your feet anymore, as if they were foreign alien entities attached to your thighs, you look up and confess to your shipmates that you can't go down there anymore.

1. Danny got cold feet at the wedding and couldn't say his vowels. The wedding then had to be cut short and both bride and her family never spoke to him again.
2. I'm sitting at a red light in my Dad's high performance Jag which I shouldn't be driving. My old high school bully then rolls up next to me in a Camaro. "Holy shit it's you!!" he says in a surprised but mocking tone. "Hey Johnny, nice wheels" I say, trying to seem somewhat friendly. "Hey! how about I race you FOR PINKS!!!. Or are you gonna get cold feet and chicken out?" Fuck it!! I can't take anymore of this prick. We both floor it on green and I pull ahead faster, At this point I'm laughing. Suddenly I hit something laying in the road and a tyre goes baaboom!! causing the car to flip n roll.
I'm writing this in a hospital bed with my one good arm, Before my dad breaks it when he finds out about his car. What can I say? Sometimes getting cold feet is not always a bad thing.
