peer agreement (net): +6explanation Explanation: Pitchoun and Pitchounette stem from the Provençal and mean "small one", "kiddie", in the masculine and feminine. It is not only the title of a work. HTH -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-04 08:49:17 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here an excerpt of the \"Dictionnaire Encyclopédique Grand Larousse Universel\" (and then you Anglophones find the right term in English, I wish here only to contribute a \"précision\"): Pitchoun, e - adjectif ou Pitchounet, ette, adjectif et nom (provençal \"pitchoun, petit). Term exprimant la tendresse à l\'égard d\'un petit enfant, de quelqu\'un qu\'on protège. So Yolanda was right about the \"endearing\" aspect.
