Both senses. Is it not yellow belly? Andrew massyn 10:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- The Lincolnshire sense is definitely one word. See here for starters. Widsith 10:55, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- If it were broken into two words, you'd be able to think one's belly was literally yellow, entirely losing the snake analogy from the old "Westerns." (Or were you saying that "yellowbelly" doesn't mean "coward" in South Africa? The first page of google hits has several dictionaries and thesauri that confirm it.) --Connel MacKenzie T C 02:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
