forcible-feeblea. [From Feeble, a character in the Second Part of Shakespeare's “King Henry IV.,” to whom Falstaff derisively applies the epithet “forcible.”].
     Seemingly vigorous, but really weak or insipid.  [1913 Webster]
    "He [Prof. Ayton] would purge his book of much offensive matter, if he struck out epithets which are in the bad taste of the forcible-feeble school."  [1913 Webster]
