Legally too young to vote, old enough to go viral.
means Someone below the legal age of adulthood, or something small in scale, seriousness, or importance.
from From Latin minor, meaning 'smaller' or 'lesser' — the comparative form of parvus-adjacent roots used to grade size and importance. It entered English in legal contexts first, marking someone 'lesser' in age and standing before the law, while the same root also gave us 'minority,' 'minus,' 'minuscule,' and 'diminish' — a whole family built on the idea of less.
