Don't think that it is an acronym ...

Especially if its capitalized that way ... waif usually refers to a thin (very) girl.  Technically someone homeless or abandoned, not well nourished.

Could someone explain what "waif" means?  and other acronyms similar to it.  Thanks for the help.

opposite Charlie Chaplin in "Modern Times".

I've never seen anything but white girls described as waif's although I realize that there is no racial connotation with the word...just trying to fill in the blanks, that's all.
