i didn't use that word to sound smarter, i used that word because there's no other word that can substitute it and it was simply the best word to use for what i was intending to say.
If you had any familiarity with that word, then you wouldn't have butchered it so badly. The type of people who use words that they have no firm grasp on—either in meaning or in spelling—are insecure. They think plugging in these unfamiliar words that they don't know how to use or spell somehow compensates for their lack of confidence. It doesn't. It just leads to embarrassing situations like this one where you out yourself as being an insecure retard. Confident people stick to language that is natural and familiar to them because they know that is far more compelling and effective.
I have familiarity with the word because i heard people use it in conversation a lot, but i did not use it in writing for as much as i heard people say the word out loud. Its not that complicated but you are making it complicated because you feel like being petty and spiteful

"Tepid" or "mild" work pretty well as substitutes for milquetoast.
