Milquetoast: one who is timid or submissive. A passive person. A mediocre man. A weak woman. Undesirable qualities if were going to manifest magnificence. Heres the history of this obscure word along with funny photos of this sour sop of a man. Check it out and have a laugh. Caspar Milquetoast was a comic strip character created by H. T. Webster for his cartoon series The Timid Soul. Webster described Caspar Milquetoast as the man who speaks softly and gets hit with a big stick. The characters name is a deliberate misspelling of the name of a bland and fairly inoffensive food, milk toast. Milk toast, light and easy to digest, is an appropriate food for someone with a weak or nervous stomach.
