teentsy

Playfully very small

Teentsy is a playful intensification of *teensy*, itself a variant of *tiny*.

The extra syllable emphasizes extreme smallness, often with affectionate or humorous effect: just a teentsy bit more.

Like *teeny-weeny* or *itty-bitty*, it belongs to informal speech, especially with children or when being deliberately cute.
