Chickens

Chickens roam free at the Hackney City Farm in London

Today's Phrase

When you say someone has chickened out of something, you mean they have failed to do something, or they haven't tried to do it, because they were afraid.

Examples:

Johnny says he is an action man but he chickened out of riding a horse. 

Are you absolutely sure you want to go bungee jumping with me? I don't want you to chicken out at the last minute.
