Hi Mike,

The German idiomatic expression approximating the American expression
"wimp" is "sitzpinkler" - literally, one who sits down while
urinating.


actually, there are many more expressions used in German as synonym for
"wimp"..-:-)

Schattenparker (one who parks his car in the shadow)
Warmduscher (one who uses warm water for showering)
Gelbbremser (brakes at yellow lights)
Frauenversteher (understands women..)
....

regards,

Friedrich
