Punk

People throw this word around a lot to define a guy who has said or done something to piss them off. For the record, in such a situation a "punk" would be a guy who verbally disrespects or deliberately commits a menacing act toward another. However, he is not a "punk" until that person calls him out as in an invitation to fight and the so called "punk" backs down. At this point he truly is a PUNK!

The only way to demonstrate punk behavior is to call the person out after an act of disrespect has been committed. If he is a coward and backs down, he is branded a punk. "Jimmy is a punk because he wouldn't fight Johnny."
