Don't want no short people 'round here~

[Rye]

(Thread name taken from lyrics of an awesome song: Randy Newman - Short People)

This thread is dedicated to my fellow short people!

To the short people:

1) How short are you?
2) Do people often call you short?
3) What "short" names do they call you?
4) Do you like being short?

To medium/tall height people:

1) Do you like short people?
2) What type of "short" names do you use on short people?
3) What is your favourite term?
4) Do you want to be short?

I love being short, except when it's hard to reach things. I'm exactly 5 feet tall. xD People are always teasing me (in a good way) for being short. In this week, people have said:

"Jess, you're a midge!"
"You're freaking SHORT!"
"You're like, (name of my friend's extremely short older sister) short! What are you? 4'11?"
"Aw, you're tiny!"

I think midge was a first this week. I think my favourite short term would be "hobbit." I refer to myself as a hobbit at times. xD

And for the hell of it, my favourite short person song:

Randy Newman - Short People

"Short people got no reason (3X)
To live

They got little hands, little eyes
They walk around tellin' great big lies
They got little noses and tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes on their nasty little feet

{Refrain}
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

Short people are just the same as you and I
A fool such as I
All men are brothers until the day they die
It's a wonderful world

Short people got nobody (3X)
To love

They got little baby legs, they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up just to say hello
They got little cars that go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers and dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time!"

[rubah]

short people are funny. I like to call them midgets (if they're younger than teenaged) and pick them up upside down when they make me mad.

I wouldn't want to be short. I'm too useful because I can reach the school ceiling by standing on a desk, which makes me as useful as a man. My hair touching the top of my car roof is not important.

[McLovin']

I'm tall.

[XxSephirothxX]

Being short had its advantages, like hiding and squeezing into small places, but being tall is better. Commanding presence and all. One half of my family is extremely tall, so I'm hoping to reach 6'2" or 6'3" by the time I stop growing, which is like, early twenties for most guys, or something like that.

[kikimm]

I'm 5'3", which I don't think is all that short, but I'm friends with a lot of guys, so I get called short a lot. I used to wish I was tall, but I got over that a few years ago, and now I'm okay with the height. I get to make other people get things for me, and that can be fun sometimes. :D I get called Tiny a lot. Teeny Tiny Tina (or this other dumb name >=(

My friends suck.

[Shoeberto]

I'm decently tall for a guy, I suppose. Just around average height. I wouldn't say I get made fun of for it.

This reminds me that I need to find a tape measure.

[SammieBabe]

1) How short are you? - Pretty short. 5'2, But I wear 3" heels to work, so everything thinks I'm taller.
2) Do people often call you short?- Daily
3) What "short" names do they call you?- I haven't met anyone who has the cojones to make fun of me to my face...
4) Do you like being short?- Yeah kinda. I've grown accustomed to it..

[Jess]

To the short people:

1) How short are you? I'm 5"5, which may not be short to some people, but where I am I only know about 3 people my age shorter than me. Everybody else I know tower over me.
2) Do people often call you short? All the tall people do. :weep:
3) What "short" names do they call you? Shorty or Midget.
4) Do you like being short? Heels are my friend, but only when sober. Truly, they aren't really my friend because they make my feet hurt.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I's about 5'8", which I believe is average height for my age. I've no qualms about those taller or shorter than me, and I impose no special names for those of a different height.

[Captain Maxx Power]

To the short people:

1) How short are you?
2) Do people often call you short?
3) What "short" names do they call you?
4) Do you like being short?

1: About 5 9, which is REALLY small for a bloke

2: Yes. It's the number one way to guarantee a smack around the head from me to them

3: Shortie, short-arse etc.

4: No, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no no, no, no, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!

I absolutely hate being short and would kill anyone to be tall.

[Anaisa]

My height is a mystery, because I'm not always the same height when I'm measured. But I'm never any shorter than 5"4, an no taller than 5"6. I think I'm 5"4 because I'm working on worse case scenario. I want to be 5"7, but apparently you stop growing at 21, so I haven't got long to make it! Fortunately everyone is under the impression I'm really tall. Although because people go on about how tall I am, I eventually have to reveal I'm actually not, because I figure they'll find out one day anyway, an then they'd think me a cheap fraud. They usually refuse to believe me, an then they measure me, or stand me next to random people to see how I compare. I think I must be some sort of optical illusion.

[Luther X-Rated]

I am short......but I am tall inside!!!

I am very sensitive about it, the other day at my school some tall dude
bumped into me hard and I said "Hey look down from time to time"
He just said "Watch out baby boy"................BABY BOY!!!!!!!
I jumped on his knee cap and decked him in the face!!!!
I got suspended and I got hurt in the process, but.....no it was really dumb : (
Bleh.... sorry I got off topic.
I'm 5"7 I think that is short.....for me anyway.

[Rice Cake]

I'm 5"11 for a 15 year old. Dunno if thats tall or short. I'm at least going to be 6 something at the end of highschool. I dunno, am I tall or short?

[Tasura]

Im 6' even, and i dont really call short people names or anything like that, but if they annoy me i pick them up and move them elsewhere.

[Raistlin]

1: About 5 9, which is REALLY small for a bloke

5'9" is exactly average for an American male. It can't be that different for other countries.
