Another word for cute or adorable used as diminutive, sarcasm or condescension
I'm looking for a word that one could use by itself as one would use "cute" or "adorable" in a sarcastic, emasculating manner.
Solution 1:
The use of 'twee' might be evirating
Twee: affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint
Solution 2:
The term precious is often used in an ironic and derogatory manner
Affectedly dainty or overrefined: precious mannerisms.
Solution 3:
How about darling.
Solution 4:
Comsider mignon and petite.
mignon: small and pretty; delicately pretty
petite : (of or characteristic of a woman) small, delicate, and dainty: petite calves
Solution 5:
How about girly-man? As in Hans, who might comment on Franz's girly-man calves? Of course I refer to Hans and Franz (We are here to pump you up!) of SNL.
