One Words Denoting Young Ones

One Word Substitution : - One Word Substitutions (Substitutes) may be defined as single words that are used in place of a group of words to denote a person, an object, a place, a state of mind a profession etc. In common parlance they are termed as single words used to make an expression brief and pertinent. Polonius in 'Hamlet', a play by Shakespeare, aptly remarks

"Therefore since brevity in the soul of wit.

The tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes I will be brief".
