In France, we say "personne de petite taille", which translates into person of small stature. Otherwise, the straight-forward term is "nain", which means dwarf, but as in the UK, it has become politically incorrect to use this word. |

Why should what the French call it make it any more P.C. will it make midgets, dwarfs, shorties, tinies, Tom thumbs or mini-me's feel less sensitive if it is in a foreign language. For the record I am trying to come across as Ironic not shortist! |

The official word is Dwarfism used to describe the physical size of a person, animal, or plant is considerably smaller than normal (See 1st link)
This is not to be confused with a Dwarf (See 2nd link) |

Small? Or, to their face, say nothing! They might be small, but have the most wonderful personality.
I am 5'9" - totally average - but have friends who are much smaller than myself.

I could be flippant & say "Lee".
If someone has a condition which restricts their growth then they have restricted growth unless you need to discuss the medical condition. Some people with restricted growth prefer to be called little people but not all do.
If I werejust describing someone then I would mention their height;
e.g. "You must know her/ him; works on the 3rd floor, red/ blonde/ black hair, 3ft 6/ 6ft 3/ 5ft 2." |
