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)
