What is Rough Tough Cream Puff?


1.

One of the many, many priceless contributions from R. Crumb - perhaps passed along by this misanthropic genius from someone else. It refers to a male with a ferocious posture, threatening gaze and aggressive stance, but a guy who will actually cave in and whimper when faced down in earnest.

Her hero was in fact a rough tough cream puff: he would threaten others and put on a big show but somehow never managed to get into actual fights. He was big and belligerent but basically a coward.

See aggressive, body language, phony, confrontational
