Warmduscher.

There are loads of words for a wimp. People seem to enjoy making them up. This means someone who showers using warm water.
German is very convenient for making nouns out of any old verbs like this. This wouldn't work in English, Warm showerer is not so pithy. Or even using the whole sentence, as above "someone who.."
Other amusing ones are available on [URL removed by moderator]
Like a whole screenful. And that's only the letter "A"
The most well known, and those that amused me from the list, are:
Allediemichkennen-Grüßer (person who says "hallo" to everyone he knows on radio phone-ins)
Altglas-vor-22.00-Einwerfer (person who doesn't throw glass in the bottle bank after 10 pm)
Angorawäscheträger (someone who wears angora underwear)
at random:
F:
F1-Drücker - someone who uses the F1 - button
Fahrkartenkäufer - someone who actually buys train/tram/bus tickets
Fahrplannachgucker - someone who checks bus timetables
Fahrrad-Bergaufschieber - someone who pushes their bike uphill
Fahrradhelmträger - ... wears a helmet when on bike
Fahrradklingelbenutzter - ... uses the bicycle bell
Fahrschulwagenvorlasser .. - gives learner drivers right of way
Fahrstuhlfahrer - uses lift instead of stairs
Faltplanfalschfalter - folds up maps wrong
Familienfoto-auf-den-Schreibtisch-Steller - puts photos of family on his desk
Fanta-Trinker - drinks Fanta.
You get the idea.
As for just plain insults.
Du Sack -
Du Pfeife (peabrain)
When talking about a third person:
(in this case the language is stronger)
Der Arschgeiger (arse violinist)
That is the mildest one I can think of.
