You know how shit most movies are now? If the MPD wins, movies will get even worse. Just bland, milktoast, safe bullshit, because they won't be able to get insurance for anything even mildly edgy.
But, last time I checked the First Amendment was still in effect, and people are free to criticize and parody authority figures. So, I don't think this will go anywhere.
Milquetoast?
It’s an excellent word, means a timid, meek, or unassertive person. I love it since it sounds like exactly what it is “”milktoast” sounds boring, unappealing, and bland, just like milquetoast people.. it’s an effective synonym regardless if intended or not :)
They know. They were correcting a misspelling.
I know, but it’s not really a misspelling though, Milquetoast was named after milktoast.
This thread evolved into something deliciously delightful! Thank you! ❤️

My first intro to it was Milquetoast the Cockroach from Bloom County. It all makes perfect sense :)
just put milksteak, she'll know what is.
I like mine with a side of jellybeans, raw.
Thanks for the giggle 🤭
American media already has a quite cozy relationship with police and the military. I am surprised the police even want to rock the boat. All of their bullshit forensics is made to seem real before anyone even gets on a jury
