half-pint
Little one, slangily
A half-pint is a unit of liquid measure equal to half a pint—about eight fluid ounces in the U.S.
The term extends to anything small, especially a short person or small child: The half-pint tagged along with his older brothers.
The tone is usually affectionate rather than dismissive.
