wifelet

rfv-sense: mistress. I thought it was just a diminutive. DCDuring 19:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

This is interesting... it seems to be used almost exclusively in reference to the current Marquess of Bath. A personal coinage of his, possibly? -- Visviva 14:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Wifelet gets 114 bgc hits, and in the cited books it has several meanings. The mistress sense is not the privilege of our Marquess, but as wifelet is grammatically a diminutive of wife, it has also been used of a wife that is small in size, as a synonym of darling (also wifie, wifeling), and of any woman a man has had a sexual relationship with. A truly versatile word! Hekaheka 08:02, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

All four citations are about the Marquess of Bath. A huge red flag IMO. Equinox ◑ 16:08, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
