Lightweight is a class of athletes in a particular sport, based on their weight. It is also a slang term, indicating insignificance or ineptitude, for example having a low tolerance for alcohol. It can be used as a synonym for "kind of." It may also be used to describe something as being small or not having a lot of features, such as a lightweight cell phone. This can be confusing because it could either mean the cell phone is not heavy, or it doesn't have a lot of features.
