"Milksop" is an English insult that dates back to the 15th century, originally referring to bread soaked in milk, which was considered soft and weak. The term came to describe a person—especially a man—who is weak, effeminate, or indecisive, emphasizing lack of strength, courage, or assertiveness. It is used in informal, often mocking or critical contexts, such as conversation, literature, and media, to highlight perceived weakness or timidity. The term is mildly to moderately derogatory and intended to insult; its harshness depends on tone and context.
