perisher
Annoying young scamp
A perisher is British slang for a person, especially a child, regarded with mild annoyance or affectionate exasperation: The little perisher broke my vase.
The word suggests someone troublesome but not truly objectionable—more nuisance than menace.
It can also mean someone exposed to harsh cold, from the verb perish in its sense of suffering from cold.
