Define Milquetoast Meaning

Milquetoast
A word originating from a comic strip character in the 1920's named Casper Milquetoast. The word has come to define someone unassertive and timid.
The first time I ever heard this word was in an episode of The Gilmore Girls.

". . . You can't be a milquetoast muppet. You have to have pointy teeth and jaws that snap. The meek shall not inherit the earth!"

That punk may act tough but he is just a milquetoast who wants everyone's attention.

I saw this word printed in a newspaper article describing the psyche of a hockey coach. His team had just lost an NHL series. The word was used to define the following: soft, dispassionate, non-aggressive, unbold, unwillful, non-determination and lacking strength of character.

"The coach's milquetoast attitude towards the opposition and sticking to his dogged offensive attitudes had been their unravelling."

Milquetoast
A muppet forum poster who knows has no respect, etiquette or general knowledge of the topic he is posting about - whilst at the same time claiming "expert" knowledge.

I am very skilled so don't milquetoast me telling me to get a wing or some plane that has basic drag problems.

Milquetoast
A weak, spineless individual who is basically the world's floor-mat.

Person 1: "Why do the Yankees suck now?"
Person 2: "Most likely because of their Milquetoast General Manager, Brian Cashman."
Person 1: "Wow, that explains a lot."

Milquetoast
A mildly depressed strict streamer wrongfully suspecting regular viewers as "trolls" and banning them. He can not keep their names out of his filthy mouth. He plays victim by claiming they are "harassing" him even though he relies on them for content.

Milquetoast
A mildly depressed strict streamer not afraid to ban regular viewers who he wrongfully suspects as trolls.

slugglover in whispers: Hey can you tell this guy to unban me please, thanks.

You in MilquetoastQT's chat: Hey some guy called Slug keeps telling me to tell you to unban him.

*MilquetoastQT catches your message out of the corner of his evil eyes*

Milk: Ignore him, he's never getting unbanned! Don't repeat anything else he says in my chat or I'll ban you too. If someone is blocked from this stream and is messaging you, block them. Hey, pick up a t-shirt while you're at it, Slug. !ignore
