The French expression "être une poule mouillée" (literally “to be a wet hen”) refers to someone who is easily scared or afraid to take risks. 🐔💦

💬 Example:
Your friends invite you to do a terrifying escape game, but you refuse because you hate being scared.
They tease you:
👉 Come on! Don’t be such a scaredy-cat!
