A young or small bald person, or someone beginning to go bald; usually used affectionately or jokingly.
From 'bald' with the diminutive suffix '-ling,' which originally meant a small or young version (like 'duckling'), applied to people in a gentle or humorous way.
The '-ling' suffix is where all our cute animal names come from—duckling, gosling, piglet—so 'baldling' is basically calling someone a 'little baldy,' which suggests affection or humor rather than meanness!
