Derived from the vintage slang Milquetoast, meaning: timid, meek, unassertive. The origin of the term is a 1924 comic character named Caspar Milquetoast created by cartoonist Harold T. Webster. A man who's depicted as a weak pushover, his name alluded to the bland food of buttered toast served in a dish of warm milk.
