Lightweight means not heavy; something that weighs only a little compared to other things in the same category. It could also mean something that is constructed to be more light in weight than other things. Also, it could mean something that is less serious.

In boxing, a lightweight contender weighs between 130 and 135 pounds. As a slang term, lightweight means that you cannot do whatever it is the other people are doing because of your physical condition, such as not being able to hold alcohol or to stay up and pull an all-nighter for an exam.
