	Namby Pamby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Namby Pamby is a term for affected, weak, and maudlin speech/verse.
		However, its origins are in Namby Pamby (1725), by Henry Carey.
		It was so successful that people began to call Philips himself "Namby Pamby" (as, for example, in The Dunciad in 1727), as he had been renamed by the poem, and Carey was referred to as "Namby Pamby Carey." The poem sold well and has been used as children's literature since Carey's day.

	Henry Carey (writer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The poem was so successful that Carey himself began to be known as "Namby Pamby Carey" (while Philips became known as "Namby Pamby"), and the poem even came to be used as children's literature.
		Carey was, after Namby Pamby, a well known figure among those opposed to Robert Walpole, and the poem had been praised by Alexander Pope (as "Sally in our Alley" had been by Joseph Addison).
		After the success of Namby Pamby, Carey was favored by the older generation of Tory wits and the Scriblerus Club.

		Their ridicule, inspired by political differences and literary rivalry, had little to do with the quality of Philips's poetry.
		In poking fun at some children's verse written by Philips, Carey used the nickname Namby Pamby: "So the Nurses get by Heart Namby Pamby's Little Rhimes." Pope then used the name in the 1733 edition of his satirical epic The Dunciad.
		Pamby repeated the sound and form but added the initial of Philips's name.

		In the main article that The Crimson published today, Steve Pinker argues that the president must defend himself, otherwise it may be an equally good idea to have a namby pamby president just like all other universities.
		He says that even when our current president acts in the most namby pamby way, he is still less namby pamby than any other president, and this itself makes him an asset.

		Who can deny these books are the epitome of what boys own adventure stories should be, but as a commuter I see as many women reading them on the tube as men.
		While I agree that not enough literature is aimed at men, as opposed to that specifically aimed at women, but it's not as if everything out there is boring namby pamby rubbish.
		It's just a case of scratching below the surface to find the interesting stuff - in these days of laziness and apathy towards everything it would seem that people just can't be bothered to experiment with new things.

		In fact, there is movement toward alternate puncuation; consider the New Punctuation and Suicide Cult in Southern Texas, whose credo is "Why not try some new and different kinds of punctuation and then kill ourselves?" Notice how these knotty epigrams from Shakespeare are easily unravelled:
		Remembering the Albertus Extra Bold asterisk embargo of several years back, one hopes the crisis is solved quickly, because a life of exclamation marks, no matter how superficially exciting, is no life at all!
		The shortage itself may be a useful one, provided it's over quickly, for it has made at least this author appreciate and value his one spare period, and it is with great respect that I use it now.

		Spurred on by Pope, Carey wrote a parody of Phillips entitled "Namby-Pamby: or, A Panegyric on the New Versification," mocking both Phillips' subject matter and the new metrical style Phillips had adopted.
		Phillips' other critics immediately picked up "Namby Pamby" and began using it in print, and by 1745 "namby-pamby" was in common usage in today's sense of "childish, timid and wimpy."
