well yellow means chicken and i think the old west people said it. it's a nod to the legendary yellowbelly lizard, a reptile apparently not known for its intestinal fortitude (aka "guts"). The story goes that when confronted, the yellowbelly lizard "exits on its belly as soon as possible."

The term "yellow" meaning cowardly likely originated from the color yellow's association with fear and illness. The term "yellow streak" may come from the idea that a streak of cowardice runs through a person, similar to how a different colored streak might represent a different trait.
