Phattu is an Indian slang term — primarily used in Hindi-speaking contexts — for a cowardly or timid person, someone who backs down from challenges or shows weakness under pressure. Derived from the Hindi verb 'phatna' (to burst, split open), it implies someone whose courage has 'burst' under the slightest pressure. Widely used in casual conversation, Bollywood films, and online in Indian English and Hindi. The register is informal and mildly derogatory; it's teasing more than vicious.
