A little stinker, a tiny farter; a small, weak, or insignificant person/thing, a tot or toddler. An affectionate yet mocking colloquial noun built on the root пукать (to fart) combined with the diminutive suffix -ёныш (typically used for animal offspring or small creatures). It can be used playfully to describe a small child who has had a little toilet accident, or condescendingly to mock an adult who is acting weak, small, or insignificant (слышь, пукёныш, ты кому тут угрожаешь? — “listen here, you little stinker, who do you think you’re threatening?”).
