nutless
Lacking tree fruits
Nutless means lacking testicles, either literally (castrated) or figuratively (cowardly, spineless).
The figurative sense dominates casual speech: He was too nutless to ask for a raise.
The insult equates masculinity with courage, implying someone lacks the balls to act decisively.
