Definition
小鬼头 is a colloquial, affectionate term for a mischievous child, similar to 'little rascal' or 'imp' in English. It's used playfully by adults toward children, often with a tone of fond exasperation. Unlike the English 'little devil', it carries no negative connotation — it's a term of endearment.
