wild thing
Unpredictable natural being
Wild thing is an affectionate or playful term for someone untamed, unpredictable, or sexually uninhibited.
The phrase gained currency from the 1966 rock song, where it functions as a term of endearment for an exciting lover: Come on, wild thing, you make my heart sing.
Parents might also use it for rambunctious children: You little wild thing, settle down.
