bottled it
When someone decides to opt out of a rather nerve racking task, instead of just growing some gonads and doing it.
Example:
Mike "yeah, Matt was gonna go on Oblivion at Alton Towers, but he totally bottled it."
Mark "yaaaaaaaay, jellies!"
or
after witnessing his love interest deciding to give the rollercoaster a miss, Matt then asked the attendant "can I bottle it aswell?"
