little pinkies

Tiny outermost digits

Little pinkies are the smallest fingers on each hand, located at the outer edge.

The diminutive "little" often appears with pinky despite being redundant—pinky already means the small finger.

The phrase is common in affectionate or playful contexts, especially with children: Wrap your little pinkies around the cup.
