Word of the day is nebbish (noun): A weak-willed, timid, or ineffectual person.
I have to say, dictionary.com and I may be on rough ground again. I am not loving today's word, or yesterday's for that matter. I don't like the word nebbish because it just sounds blah. And in my opinion calling someone ineffectual is one of the worst put-downs. But this is what I have to do so here goes:
A nebbish is defined by what he is not
Most of what he starts just goes to pot
Walks around with his button-down slightly askew
Thinking about everything he will never do.
