Candy-ass is a slang term that appeared in mid-20th-century American English to describe a weak, cowardly, or overly timid person. The term combines "candy," suggesting something soft, sweet, or easily crushed, with "ass" as a crude intensifier, literally labeling someone as physically or mentally soft. Historically, it was derogatory and mocking, used to insult someone's courage or toughness. Today it remains informal and offensive, mainly used in casual, critical, or humorous contexts rather than polite conversation.
