bambino
Little one, abroad
Bambino is an Italian word for a baby or young child, used in English with an affectionate or playful tone.
It appears most often in contexts involving Italian culture or when someone wants to add warmth or humor to a reference to a child.
The proud grandmother cooed over her new bambino.
In American baseball slang, the Bambino refers specifically to Babe Ruth, whose legendary career with the Yankees led to talk of "the Curse of the Bambino" haunting the Boston Red Sox.
