little boys

Small male children

Little boys are male children, typically under age ten or so.

The phrase often carries connotations of innocence, mischief, or vulnerability: Little boys and their toy trucks, Don't cry—be a big boy.

Calling an adult male a little boy is dismissive, suggesting immaturity or insignificance: He's still a little boy playing at being CEO.
