mamlish could be meaning motherly, like they used to say 'mamie' callin' their mother that ,and also their lover too..like they call their woman mama,they say mamie too. and their man they call daddy,..

At the risk of sounding crude, the saying goes "Gimme some nappy and make me happy". No idea what a mamlish is tho....

thanks tc :)

@blindtcjohnson Mamlish is an old slang word for a beautiful, very female mothering young woman whos got everything that a man craves.Its a word long gone now.Ed Bell from Alabama recorded Mamish blues in the 20s where he sings about a mamlish woman who makes a blind man see and a dum man talk.
