to *ween* means to hold an opinion, doesn't it? and *weeny* is tiny

so take your pick, you're:

a. an opinionated person living in an urban area. b. a person of slight physical stature living in an urban area c. a person living in an urban area whose opinions are insignifcant d. a small person with small opinions living in an urban area

your second question is much less interesting, Michael Hoover
