milquetoast means uninspiring, meek, boring, unassertive, etc.
IIRC it became a word after some character in a comic was named "milquetoast," but the name is derived from milk toast, which is literally just toast in warm milk and is as bland as it sounds. It fell out of fashion some time ago, but for whatever reason has had a rebound in popularity.

It's kind of an insult, but not a seriously derogatory one unless someone has such an axe to grind that they take offense to unoffensiveness.
