Also contrast with the above. He is a little angry right now. Please don't antagonise him any more. In this case, the subject's mindset is all a little angry, as if it were slowly suffusing him. He is a little bit angry. Don't worry about it.

There are 4 other quotes, and I can do all of them and explain why they do not fit (or in one case no context is given; and no year is given for the paper, so I don't know how I'd how I'd find the paper).

- What is the short form for 'little' ? Is it li'l or lil'?"Lil" is a kind of prefix and is the short form of "little". It is often spelled with an apostrophe as "Lil'" or "Li'l". When used as a prefix in comic or animation it can refer to a specific style of drawing where the characters appear in a chubby, childlike style.
