smol

Cutely undersized thing

Smol is internet slang for small, used to describe something tiny and endearing—typically cute animals, babies, or miniature versions of things: Look at that smol bean, such a smol pupper.

The deliberate misspelling signals affection and playfulness, part of the same online register as doggo and chonky.

The word emphasizes not just smallness but lovable smallness.
