Namby Pamby
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Eighteenth-century poets Alexander Pope and Henry Carey didn't think much of their contemporary Ambrose Philips. His sentimental, singsong verses were too childish and simple for their palates. In 1726 [Common Era], Carey came up with the rhyming nickname Namby-Pamby (playing on Ambrose) to parody Philips: "Namby-Pamby's doubly mild / Once a man and twice a child ... / Now he pumps his little wits / All by little tiny bits." In 1729 CE, Pope borrowed the nickname to take his own satirical jab at Philips in the poem "The Dunciad." Before long, namby-pamby was being applied to any piece of writing that was insipidly precious, simple, or sentimental, and later to anyone considered pathetically weak or indecisive.This account is another one of thousands of things we've been sold, and accepted as solid gold, because it sounds right and seems right because that is the only thing we've heard.
Mamby-Pamby
Evidently many of us have heard the phrase mamby pamby; however, internet searches using the words mamby pamby, return results that are all about namby-pamby. This creates the gaslight illusion that what we've heard is not what we heard.Mamby-Pamby is an earlier form of the word that existed before Henry Carey was a splinter in his mother's thigh.

Mpambe-Mpambe, Way Earlier Origin
In order to explain most word origins, different branches must be explored that lead back to the trunk and root. One of the main reasons is because, at various times, humans have borrowed pieces of language, mixed them with other pieces, and then made adjustments to it. Thus, the same thing has happened to the definitions and meanings of those words.1. Nam, Nam-Nam, Namt or Namti (Egyptian) from Kenam, Khenam, Khnam, Khnum, Khunum. Nam (Nim, Num, Nem, Nom) means waters, sweet, delicious, delight, repeat, renew, second, see, perceive, guide, direct, judge, accompany, guide, join, go together, speak, utter, discuss, converse, explain, announce, proclaim. Nam is also the place of bowing for beheading at the block, put to death, force to bow [cow down, kowtow, kau-tau, get on hands and knees, like a quadruped beast]. The hallowed secluded grove of the Keltae Druids in southwestern Eurasia was called a Nemet (Numut, Namit), meaning the retreat, place of judgment, execution, gallows and the block where criminals were put to death. The judge was the Nompere,. The form of Numpere leads to word Umpire and the second half of word referee. The Namt is the womb, the first oracle and mouthpiece of revelation.
2. Nam (Sanskrit), worship, bow down, submit one’s self.3. Nambita (Zulu), is to smack the lips in eating, also in tasting something mentally pleasant.
4. Mumit (Egyptian) becomes Mamit (Assyrian), an image, idol or divine likeness of the dead or of a deity. The mummy was not a personal portrait but a general image given to all mummies. Equal to Sa, Touch, Sem-Sem, Shemau, Enveloped Majesty, Precious Thing, Seed, Khema, Tesas, Sheb, Shebti, Shep, Kristo, Karest, Christ, Krast, Mummy, The Cross, Bible, Rosary Beads, Grave, Tombstone, Ashes In an Urn, or any other religious symbol or any symbol representing anything such as a wedding ring, a statue and so on, especially something humans have made. A Mamit, though a physical, visual, tangible object, can also be verbal such as placing a hand on a bible and swearing. Or saluting a flag or the dead. Or placing a hand over the heart when an anthem is played. Or saying, I cross my heart and hope to die, if I'm lying. Or saying, I swear on my mother's grave.a) Mamit is the image or type of the dead, of life that is past, save and preserve the memory, thus a form of salvation for the soul of the dead and the living who have symbols of the dead. Mamit from Mum-IT. Mum-Kheft. Mum, the dead. “It” means to figure forth, picture, image, typify. IT from Kheft, the image itself. Sheft, to fashion likely leads to word Shift and shape-shift from kheft-sheft.
b) Mamit came to denote a curse and signify a form of evil satanic demonic, dark, occult pagan underworld incantation. This was due to miseducation regarding the Mamit, as a thing and type image of the dead and eternal life, to which an appeal was made during consecration blessing or execration cursing or in making a covenant.c) Mamit is an image of life to come, a life-giving image; an embodied messenger of heaven.
d) The Itu portion of Mamitu remains to express the image or sign of upholding and saving the new identity in memory. Itu as Idu is the front part of word identity. Yes all identities are based on things long since here, many of which are dead and gone in original form, yet have returned. Idu as covenant is certainly the source of saying I DO, in marriage that creates a new joint Idu-Ntu-Tu, word identity.e) .Mamit from Mam-Mam from Nam-Nam. Mam-Mam from Mam, the dead person and Mam the mummy image. Eternal, Eternity and Immortal was based on repeating cycles of time, thus by repeating the image of the dead, this was symbolic of all in nature that was renewed after death. Haters of their homeland try to deride this as ancestor worship, yet humans worldwide honor their ancestors with images and holy days, holi-days, holidays, while being ignorant of the fact that word holy is based on Nile Valley concepts of heru, kheru, khiur, khiurkh, khiurlkh and khiurlnm.
f) A Mamit was a way of making a covenant (forming a bond of agreement and connection) between two stages of existence in two dimensions (form and time). As said above, many symbols are still used today to swear by, some of which are, a handshake, tying a string around a finger, a locket, a belt, a buckle, sword, book, coat of arms.
g) All this is the mammon of the Judaeo-Christian-Muslim Bible Dictionary. Although the CJB and OJB versions say mammon means money, wealth, riches, it is more likely to be Mammum and mammim, thus a form of Mamit as it was called in Assyria. No doubt these mamui were valuable and representative of the mother, now derided under a male god father only context. Mamman is to give suck. Thus you can't serve god the father with a mature mindset while still being a baby sucking at your mamma's breast.
The earliest Middens were burial-mounds, later becoming the name of refuse-heaps. The Mmu are the dead ; the Mut is the tomb. Mu-hat is a sepulchre or enclosure for the dead. Maten is repose, resting, quiet, pacify, facilitate, make a way, the dead and their pathway. Mateni is the name of the axe so often buried with the dead. It was made of blue-green jade, felspar, gold, bronze or nephrite and was highly prized for its rarity, hardness, color and symbolism. Money and other treasures were buried with the dead. This money and other items were needed as amulets to make it through the way. This later became known as Matening or Madening-money and viewed as paying your way. Maten leads to word Mad and word Maddening. Other words are likely such as word Mitten, due to the tomb being a form of the hand.
Namby Pamby Actually Means
First of all, the basic notion of education worldwide, and the curriculum, today, and back then in England, was a Nile Valley education that became increasingly diminished and fragmented after being once sought as a point of honor to elevate self as a human deity leader above the huddled uneducated masses of gullible worshiper followers. Most certainly the relative few who went to those African schools, in Africa and Asia, and the few who went to college were exposed to Nile Valley ideas in many areas. This has been proven more than enough.Second of all, Ambrose Phillips and Alexander Pope, hated each other. His pastorals opened the 6th volume of Jacob Tonson's Miscellanies (1709 CE), which also contained the pastorals of Alexander Pope. Phillips was praised while Pope was mocked. Pope's jealousy was roused, and he sent an anonymous contribution to the Guardian (No. 40) in which he drew an ironical comparison between his own and Philips' pastorals, censuring himself and praising Philips's worst passages. Philips is said to have threatened to cane Pope with a rod.
It was at Pope's request that Gay burlesqued Philips's pastorals in his Shepherd's Week, however, the parody pleased, by the very quality of the simplicity it was intended to ridicule. Samuel Johnson describes the relations between Pope and Philips as a "perpetual reciprocation of malevolence."
This account is ignored by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Fragments and Pretend Thorougness of Research and Pretend Accuracy.
Alexander Pope, evidently low on self-esteem, did what is still done today and was done before him. Be the initiator and aggressor by attacking those who are what you want to be.
Mpampe-Mpambe leads to pronunciation as Mambe-Pambe then spelling as Mamby-Pamby, then Namby-Pamby. Along the way, the connection to Mum, Mam and Nam has been lost in almost all information sources and education sources put forth by societies.Mampe-Mpambe is briefly stated as images representing the dead and deities. These images relate to the period when the first deities were in the form of the Mother as the only one who creates, and her child.
So there they were in 1726 CE, Pope, Carey and Phillips struggling for male versus female identity, European versus African identity and whiteness versus blackness identity in a lackluster land versus a land of plenty.
The meaning of Nam-Nam as repetition and simplicity was already ridiculed and now associated by Pope with Phillip's poems. The concept of repetition in language is not understood and considered primitive, unintelligent, childish baby talk compared to the wordsmithery wizardry that relatively recent Europeans think they are masters of.
Carey and Pope were essentially saying that Phillips was just as uneducated and underdeveloped as those Africans who practiced the use of the Mpambe-Mpambe as children, and remained childish in their thinking as adults. The Mpambe were a symbolic reminder of the precious thing.
Ridicule and demeaning is a basic move when attempting to justify your behavior. This takes many forms such as calling people savages, primitives, barbarians, and the recent shit-hole countries. This while not understanding the origin and most of the meanings of any of those words.
