I also found a graph

 

in like the 20s or up to the 40s if movies dont lie people said "yellowbelly" but eh, sexism has won the day.

re: the use of genitalia, it's more potent than standard language. cock, cunt, asshole, have tremendous hallucinatory power (what vivid metaphors!) than standard language lacks.

when i hear "coward" i think "noel".

when someone is a coward it's nicer to say "he shat his pants". you can almost smell the fear in that expression!
