L'enfant terrible (Terrible child) (also spelled enfant terrible) is a French term for a child who is terrifyingly candid by saying embarrassing things to adults, especially parents.

The Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edn., gives the definition: "A child who embarrasses his elders by untimely remarks; transf. a person who compromises his associates or his party by unorthodox or ill-considered speech or behaviour; loosely, one who acts unconventionally."

The Webster's Dictionary also defines an enfant terrible as an unusual person who is strikingly unorthodox, innovative, and/or avant-garde.
