“You certainly have a thin skin for a guy who talks so big and ferocious. I think I will call you “the Cowardly Lion”. Yes, that is much more appropriate. From this day froward your first name, as far as I am concerned is “the Cowardly Lion”.

Wow, you can’t even mock right. A cowardly lion is someone who thinks that they’ve afraid all the time when in point of fact despite being afraid they still do what needs to be done, like the Cowardly Lion from Wizard of Oz…

The feline turn of phrase you’re looking for of someone who talks a big game but can’t live up to it is “Paper Tiger”

Holy shit James… that was rather lucid for you at this time of night.
