A snotty lady that is TOO nice to my other half, called him, "Senor-itto". Expain??
(The comments she makes to him are, to say the least, dyrogatory)

In Spain at least it is very derogatory to say this to a man, as it is belittling him and casting doubts on his masculinity. Can't you find something to call her in return?

señorita is Miss in Spanish
she called him señorito (which does not apply for a man)
Maybe she just wanted to call his attention and be funny. Be careful.

Señorita is Miss, but "señorito"? I don't think that applies for any man, even if she was referring to a little boy. I do't think any man would like to be call like that!!!!

Señor is 'Mr.' in Spanish; 'señorito' is the diminutive for "mister." Was she referring to a little boy? If so, then that is correct/acceptable. Otherwise she was belittling someone by calling him that 'little Mr.'

Señorito is actually derogatory, unless it is said by very old redneck like people.
It's interpreted as "you are as useless as a "señorita" (lady) for hardwork", so It's like saying "you good for nothing".

Senor means man
When you add "ito," it means little.
She was dissing him and calling him a little man.
