Milquetoastedly

Last evening, at supper, my wife looked at me menacingly and said, “What’s the matter, what wrong with my cooking?” all I could do was to look at her and milquetoastedly say: “Something is missing in my soup, Devey. You always cook it supremely when you are all steamed up. Didn’t you read the Voice of the People today?”

A bottle of commercially-prepared hot sauce at the ready suggested you add the gusto yourself. Milquetoastedly, I shook on a teaspoonful, tasted, then added more.

Don’t let yourself be milquetoastedly intimidated by sober equations, credentials, and prizes.

Elon Musk accused the band [Green Day] of going "from raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it" after [Billie Joe] Amstrong swapped a line in the song “American Idiot,” changing it from "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda" to "I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda.”
