Hi, A 'wuss' is slang for a cowardly, weak, ineffectual person. It's not entirely a polite term. Don't say it to your grandmother, or to Queen Elizabeth, or in a job interview.

Oh, thanks a lot Clive,

I was just about thinking in using it tomorrow as I am organizing a tea party for Elisabeth and others to her 60th wedding anniversary in my castle here. Well, again thank you, I will not welcome her with this title.

Great explanation, it makes sense to me now.

kind regards
