"Smol" | Filosofa's Word

I figure that after the week we’ve all had, we could use some cute critters to kick off the weekend. So, I dug through some things I had saved over the past few weeks and found some of the most adorable li’l critters! I was puzzled, though, in this article on Bored Panda, I kept seeing the word “smol”. Now, I have a pretty good command of the English vocabulary, but this one is not in my memory bank. After seeing it for about the umpteenth time, I Googled and found this …

“In the internet slang of DoggoLingo, smol is an affectionate way of saying someone or something is small in size—so cute you just want to squeeze ’em. It most often describes animals like puppies, kittens, bunnies, and even teeny-tiny reptiles.”

Well, I guess that makes sense. As I’ve grown older, I’m not much a fan of slang, but this one really does fit some of these teeny-tiny critters. These little guys can fit on a finger, hence they are dubbed “Tiny Animals on Fingers”. Since there were 50 of these cute tiny critters, I decided to only use 25 today, but I hope you’ll click the link above to go see the rest of them! Anyway, sit back and enjoy these itty-bitty creatures for a few minutes, then go forth and try to have a wonderful weekend!
