Use of namby-pamby

Hi

Is the use of namby-pamby OK here?

I hate her namby-pamby sister. (one who is always behaving in an emotional/weak way)

Why does she always have to behave so namby-pamby over every little issue? (namby-pamby=overemotional)

Thanks,

Tom

I suppose so. The idioms you are posting recently sound either dated or corny or cliché nowadays.
