I Learned a New Word

It's very hard these days for me to come across a word I've never seen before but the other day the Wall Street Journal got me with one:

pu·sil·lan·i·mous [pyoo-suh-lan-uh-muhs] –adjective
1. lacking courage or resolution; cowardly; faint-hearted; timid.
2. proceeding from or indicating a cowardly spirit.

The actual formed used in the Journal was pusillanimity meaning the act of being cowardly.
