Milquetoast

I just wanted to share this new word I learned from a book I was reading. Even though I read as much as I can, it's usually science, so my non-science vocabulary has always been poor. But I'm working on it - I subscribe to the word-of-the-day (from two sources) and I'm plowing through my booklist. So don't make fun of me if you already know what milquetoast means! If you don't know what it means, here's what dictionary.com says:

milque·toast /ˈmɪlkˌtoʊst/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[milk-tohst] –noun (sometimes initial capital letter) a very timid, unassertive, spineless person, esp. one who is easily dominated or intimidated: a milquetoast who's afraid to ask for a raise.

Sandra Cookie is definitely NOT a milquetoast!
