When I looked up the word schmaltzy in the dictionary it gave me sensiblero, ñoño. When I then looked up the word ñoño it gave me squeamish, whining, dull, namby-pamby, So, does anyone know how to use this or is there a better word for Schmaltzy? What about kitsch?

Namby pamby doesn't mean kitsch as far as I know. - 00f2b5a1, NOV 23, 2009

I think it is so hard to define the meaning of ñoño beacuse some of the characteristics of this adjectives intertwines with other words and when trying to translate it it makes it even more complicated. - 0068e2f4, NOV 24, 2009
