For at least the last ten years and probably much longer, I've been seeing the term "chickensh*t" implying cowardice.
It wasn't that way when I was younger.
Back then, it meant petty, arbitrary rules or orders that were annoying, rather useless, and a form of (possibly unintentional) low-grade harassment.
As for cowardice, the work "chicken" was used.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might claim that "they" wanted people not to have a term like chickensh*t for the petty, arbitrary, annoying, rather useless rules or orders "they" were giving us.
