Man if only there was some sort of known history of him doing this to people, maybe just maybe Kayleigh would have reconsidered taking that job.  Drat!

I had no idea until just now, but the word has a pretty funny etymology.

Quote
A milquetoast is a person who is skittish, unassuming, timid, weak. Milquetoast is mainly an American term, coming from an American cartoon drawn by Harold T Webster in the 1920s through the 1950s called The Timid Soul. The cartoon revolved around a character called Caspar Milquetoast.

Milktoast is an eggcorn of milquetoast. An eggcorn is a misheard or misspelled version of a word. Interestingly, the name of the character Caspar Milquetoast is inspired by the American dish milk toast, an extremely simple dish of sliced buttered toast with milk poured over it that is intended for people who are ill.

So yeah, it seems to me that if enough people are “misspelling” Milquetoast with an adaptation of the word the original character was named after, then why not just consider it a word?

But if you're not a 'gloid and know the correct spelling but still spell it the wrong way, you're an bad person. The War of the Words will never end, but I intend to be on the side of truth.

Words are for idiots too. The dictionary is jam packed with words that started out as mispronunciations or just general misunderstandings. Even words used by YOU! :Wha:

every word ever contrived in the history of ever is completely made up and everyone just agrees to it. I say just do whatever you want, its all made up anyway.








ftr i will absolutely judge any smooth-brained mouth breathers who can't figure out how to spell a dadgum word, but nevertheless i still encourage them to just do whatever.

Also important to remember that only recently did literacy become *nearly* universal in the U.S. and U.K. We now have fewer excuses for butchering words due to mistake.

Using milktoast is the equivalent of using the Latin version of a word

My Physics professor said one day in class in response to a student trying to correct his spelling of a word, "I have no respect for anyone who is not smart enough to spell a word more than one way.".

I am a philologist. This discussion is more proper in the Pet Peeves thread or its own thread.

In Trump news, Jack Smith has a secret recording from 2021 containing Trump discussing a classified document relating to a plan to attack Iran. Another brick in the document-case wall.

Only the biggest bad person can be a real republican. You either have to agree with the bad person, or be a bigger bad person yourself, making him the rino.
