    A word originating from a comic strip character in the 1920s 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.

          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.

                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.
