personality of a toaster Tanya, head of the girl gang, is the most nasty – ‘Oh look, here comes the-deaf-girl wanting a goss’ – I can read her lips really clearly and she’s started wearing pinky lip balm and that’s what I look at while the girl gang laugh. And then I say, ‘Why would I want to goss with you? You have the personality of a toaster! And anyway gossiping is horrible.’ They go on laughing because they don’t understand sign and think it’s funny I’m doing-weird-things-with-her-hands. But Jimmy understands signs and he laughed because ‘personality of a toaster’ was funny. I would like to know what does " personality of a toaster" mean. Thanks.

It's an insult. A toaster is a boring household appliance. If you say that someone has 'the personality of a toaster', you are saying that this person has as much personality as a piece of electrical kitchen equipment - or in other words, no personality at all.
