Immature; silly; childish. 2. Relating to childhood. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin puer (boy).

USAGE: "An Australian friend recently jolted me with an apparently aesthetic but obviously puerile suggestion, 'Mate, can we amend this burqa ban so that only ugly women are required to wear them while the good-looking ones are mandated to wear bikinis?'
