Pikkie is a South African informal term for a young child or infant, used affectionately in everyday speech, particularly in Cape Afrikaans-influenced English. It has the endearing quality of many diminutives in South African English and Afrikaans and is typically deployed in a warm, fond register by family members or close community members talking about small children. Not generally considered offensive in South African usage, though connotations can vary by community context.
The whole family came over for the braai, pikkies and all, running around underfoot.
