Wrong.


man
/man/
noun
1.
an adult human male

So a “little man” would mean an adult male of small stature.

Also, it’s not an “offense”, but merely a mild irritation.

Ok. Now the definition of little and then put them together.

Okay, that’s cool OP. I don’t use it often but there are some baby boys that just look like tiny adults grumpily stuck in baby bodies. I see baby girls with that look sometimes too but I tend to describe them as “old souls” or something other than “little woman/little lady” but I’m not sure why. Little men are just funnier to me in general.

"little man" is icky, but "grandbaby" is even ickier.

Or little woman, actually.
