Default Re: ink pen or fountain pen?

Well I've only heard the expression 'wimp out' a few times (very few), and I'd be surprised if it's in any dictionary yet. But the noun "wimp" [slang, = a coward, someone who isn't brave) may be. 'To wimp out' is to pull out (stop doing something) because of not being brave enough: "I could have overtaken him on that bend, but there was so much traffic that I wimped out".
