Gaelic name for "Beautiful Girl." Cai is the term for beauty that is both physical and spiritual, unlike álainn, which just means physical beauty. Leen means little girl or small child.

In Irish folklore, the name Caileen has been used to represent a girl who is greatly unaware of her own worth. She is beautiful and kind but unaware of it, often helping and befriending people of a "lesser status".
Eric: If I ask her out, do you think she'll say yes?
Bri: It's Caileen we're talking about! She'll probably say yes and be shocked why you would even want to go out with her!
Eric: Are you kidding me? She's beautiful.
Bri: Try telling her that...

It's the modern equivalent

Capulet by THATgirltookmyname June 24, 2006
Cailean is a lively, authoritarian, ambitious, self-assured and passionate man who needs to be physically active and always moving forward. He could seem quite impressive at first, and appears to be strong, reliable and trustworthy. It´s true that he tends to be made of stern stuff, and can occasionally be quite argumentative and even arrogant, loathes flattery and is allergic to restriction. Impatient, and endowed with astonishing mental agility, he can also be irritable, nervous, aggressive and possibly even violent if he considers that certain lines have been crossed... Even so, most of the time he is extremely pleasant, responsible, curious, adaptable and capable of introspection when necessary. He is usually fascinated by adventure and novelty, and could often feel torn between his sense of duty and responsibility - and the desire to live his life the way that he desires, without worrying about what anyone else thinks, and either of these tendencies could prevail, depending on the moment and the circumstances. Cailean comes across as a solid, sturdy character who can be leaned on, although he would prefer to relinquish some of the responsibility that he feels for others, who benefit greatly from his helpfulness and his tendency to take things seriously. As a child, he is brimming over with energy, and a rigid authoritarian attitude certainly won't hold much sway with him.
Cailean is so calm, cool, and collected!

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
