Minuscule, in cutesy lingo

TEENSYWEENSY

["Think of how a child might describe something so tiny it’s almost invisible—like an ant’s sock or a fairy’s teacup. The answer sounds like a playful, doubled-up version of \"tiny.\""]

"Minuscule, in cutesy lingo" plays on exaggerated, childlike ways to say "very small." The answer, "TEENSYWEENSY," is a reduplicative phrase (repeating similar sounds for effect) often used in playful or affectionate speech, like in nursery rhymes or when someone’s being extra cute. It’s a step beyond just "teensy" or "weensy" alone, doubling up for extra emphasis—think of how you’d describe a tiny bug or a speck of dust to a kid. The clue hints at this whimsical tone with "cutesy lingo," steering you toward the most over-the-top version of the word.
