Given citation just looks like a wife who is little. Equinox ◑ 03:19, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It has the same context as little woman, especially if you've seen the movie. See, Gaston is a male-chauvinist who thinks he'll get whatever he wants. Angie Y. 03:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * "Little woman" can't be deduced from its parts; there is nothing in the phrase suggesting marriage. "Little wife" clearly indicates marriage because a "wife" is a married woman. "Little" could mean any of the senses shown at little:, e.g. young, insignificant. Equinox ◑ 04:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I say insignificant. Angie Y. 06:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Isn't this an RFD issue? Mglovesfun (talk) 12:15, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I say that because little can be diminutive in a pejorative way; little shit, little fucker, little cunt, etc. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:40, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

That was my idea. Angie Y. 17:54, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * In the Disney cite, little seems to be used in the sense of "subordinate" or "insignificant, trivial." Probably SOP. Astral 21:26, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
