If you "lose your bottle" or "bottle out" you lose your nerve. One of those obscure British sayings with orugins lost in time.

Having bottle is having courage. Losing your bottle is losing your nerve. Google cockney rhyming slang for more detail.

It's Cockney rhyming slang. Quite a complicated one even for us Brits. It goes:

'Arris' = your arse (*** in USA) which come from Aristotle / Bottle. Usually something like 'Did you see the 'arris on that bird in the pub last night'?

Which originally comes from:

Bottle and Glass = Arse (*** in USA). If your 'bottle' goes it means that you got scared/chickened out of something. Generally means your arse puckered up because you got scared. Conversely if you've 'got a lot of bottle', it means you are brave. As In '**** me he's got some bottle flying through that giant concrete fanny'.

You're welcome.......
