teeny weeny
Barely there size
Teeny weeny means extremely small, an emphatic diminutive formed by reduplication.
The rhyming pair intensifies tininess beyond what *teeny* alone conveys: just a teeny weeny bit, a teeny weeny spider.
The phrase is informal and often playful, common in speech to children.
Also spelled *teeny-weeny* or *teensy-weensy*.
