why would you invent a second term that means exactly the same thing as the first term? Hint: You wouldn't.

Little, small.

First, the words "little" and "small" have different connotations and uses despite the similar nature. Second, not even close to being the same thing. If somebody could just join the Nazis, we wouldn't need the word neo-nazi. Nor does feminazi or grammar nazi mean Nazi. All of these words are nods to attributes associated with Nazism.

And, more generally, it's worth remembering that "little" and "small" date back to a time before standardized English.
