pickaninny

A derogatory term that in English usage refers to black children, or a caricature of them which is widely considered racist. The word is likely derived from the Portuguese pequenino (derived from pequeno, "little").

Pickaninny refers to oft-depicted physical stereotypes of young African slave or African American children: bulging eyes, unkempt hair, red lips and wide mouth into which they stuffed large slices of watermelon.

Today, use of the term by persons of any race in English speaking countries is seen as distasteful, though at one time it was used within African American families to refer to their children in an affectionate manner. Versions of the word are still used in some pidgin dialects, including Caribbean English, where it usually means "child" or "young'un"

Pickaninny (also, piccaninny): Before becoming the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson apologized for any offense caused by an article in which he sarcastically suggested that "the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies."

MILF Pick

The very last pick in Little League Baseball draft. Usually plays right field and would NEVER be chosen by any coach who has not observed that his Mom is a MILF. Only redeeming quality: his Mom will do anything to keep him from doing pine time (sitting the bench).

Coach 1- GADZ- that fielder of yours couldn't catch a cold...much less a pop up or a line drive. He must have some hidden talent.
Coach 2- YEAH- his Mommy is the hottest Mom on the team! He's my MILF pick!
Coach 1- What will she trade to have Lil' Johnny play short stop today?
