Definition
(she's a pretty) young thing: (she's a pretty) young person, young girl
Note that calling someone a "young thing" is quite patronising, even demeaning. It is not a respectful way to refer to someone.
- "Or, should the Delavigne Corporation be remanded to this delightful, charming young thing in front of me."
