If you read the literature on Anxmann X-Power AA batteries, you may come across the term “mignon”.
Obviously, they’re not referring to a filet of beef.
Mignon is a French word meaning “small” or “cute”.
While no one would describe an AA battery as “cute”, the fact that Ansmann is a European company explains why the slang term “mignon” is used to describe the AA, since it is smaller than C cells and D cells.
By the way, the even smaller AAA Ansmann alkaline is referred to as “micro”.
