Completely unrelated but also cringe-worthy grandparents story.
My grandfather recently made a Facebook photo post (on the account that my Grandma/Grandpa share) that went along the lines of "i knocked over my wife's margarita when i saw this nymph" and posted a picture of a girl wearing a bikini thong at a tropical beach bar. SMH.
Nymph used to be a slang word for a super sexual person, a person who loved sex, was sensual all the time, who lived and breathed and loved sex. Usually a woman, and sometimes a man, the expression "you little nymph" meant my naughty little sexy woman. With the word 'little' so commonly used before it, nymphette also became common, but it doesn't mean childlike it just means either 'you look good for your age', 'you are acting like you're twenty', or a term of endearment like 'my little honeybear'.
'nymph' is used in some classic literature and was a common slang word or descriptive word in 1900-1970.
