About This 亚洲网紅露点
What does聽cutie mean?
Cutie is an informal word for a person considered cute or attractive.
It can be used to refer to such a person, as in There are a couple of real cuties in my math class, or to address such a person, as in Hey, cutie, I missed you!
This sense of the word can be considered demeaning toward the person it鈥檚 referring to or addressing. But that鈥檚 not always the case, especially when it鈥檚 directed toward a person by someone they love as a term of affection.
Cutie can also be used as a term of endearment and affection that鈥檚 especially used to refer to or to address young children, much like sweetheart, sweetie, or darling.
Cutie can also be spelled as cutey, but this is much less common.
Example: Your nephew is such a cutie鈥攍ook at that sweet face!
Where does聽cutie come from?
The first records of the word cutie come from the 1700s in the U.S. It鈥檚 formed from the word cute, which is first recorded in the 1600s, and the suffix -ie, which is used to create informal and diminutive names for things, like sweetie and doggie.
Cute can mean a lot of different things. Babies and young children are cute. Adorable animals are cute. But the word is also commonly used as another way of saying that someone is sexually attractive, and cutie can be used as a milder version of the word hottie. For that reason, calling someone a cutie鈥攅specially when addressing them that way鈥攃ould be seen as unwelcome.
