How it's used

Carries a strong, confrontational tone that is often used to provoke or insult someone's masculinity or bravery. It functions as an adjective describing a lack of courage or moral fiber in a specific situation. Because it is highly informal and potentially offensive, avoid using it in professional or polite settings.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the literal meaning of having no seeds, which is how it might be interpreted in a botanical context. In social situations, it is almost exclusively used as a personal attack regarding someone's character.
