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 :)
