کوچولو

Iranian families pile diminutives on small humans like sprinkles on cake. A single child might be called کوچولو، عزیز دلم، مامانی، فدات شم all in one breakfast. The kuchulu in particular sticks to nursery rhymes and Saturday morning cartoons. Older relatives keep using it long after the "tiny" person has grown taller than them, which everyone finds either embarrassing or endearing.
