What does "shrimp" mean in Chengdu dialect?

Generally speaking, we should distinguish between the tone of speech and the occasion. If people you know very well call you "shrimp", it is the name of slapstick and kissing between ordinary friends. This means that you are timid. If an acquaintance doesn't say that you are shrimp, it's pure swearing, saying that you have no guts and balls. It's that simple.
