sorry, i apologize for using the term milquetoast without context ;)

it just kind of means "overly apologetic, meek, timid, unwilling to ever voice anything that may be even mildly controversial", etc. It apparently originates from H.T. Webster "The Timid Soul"

I had to lookup for that too: milque·toast: A timid or feeble person.
