what 'idiom', lol

this word can mean 3 things:
1) a joking way to address a child
2) insult for a child
3) imp (as in the Hell)

see MoE
①俗稱在陰間供閻王差使的吏役。
②罵人的話,亦比喻小人。如:「閻王好惹,小鬼難纏。」
③對小孩子親暱或不客氣的稱呼。亦稱為「小鬼頭」。
Diff:
- 小鬼 小鬼 [xiao3 gui3] /(idiom) an endearing term of address to a child; little demon/
+ 小鬼 小鬼 [xiao3 gui3] /little demon (term of endearment for a child)/mischievous child/imp/
