Why short people are called short?

[PanSlunher *******]

They don't choose height and it depends on genes most of the time

Short people are called short because they are short by height ?
Same as tall people are sometimes called long.

Yeah, they dont choose their height, no one does. They are still short?

I don't call them short, I call them hobbits

Because it`s easier to say then vertically challenged.

Because they're short, relative to the average height.

Why are tall people called tall?

It's just a descriptor.

[Ruckman_Void]

It's a descriptor
Not an identity

:shrugging_sign:

indeed.. just as sexuality, age, religion, race, and a 100 other things are
if a person starts to identify with a descriptor.. or starts to be offended by being called or anything said about a descriptor.. that really is cause they themselves made the mistake to glueeing their identity to their descriptor.

They're called short because they ~are~ short... choosing or not choosing has nothing to do with being called something, nor do genes...

That's not how calling something a thing works...

Being 5 feet 6 inches is still considered short for me. I can't reach the top shelves to get soda cans at the supermarket.

its legit considered short by everyone

I think I'm like 5'2, which is considered short for a lady. I don't mind being considered short.

Describing someone as short doesn't mean you're trying to mock them. My older brother is like 6'1, maybe more; he would be described as tall.

[AutisticPinoy989]

Yeah, my dad helped me got them, so thank god for him being my great dad. He's two inches taller than me and he had to get his feet on the lower shelf in order to reach the cans.

You better check your tall privilege and come up with a new word.

Depends if you're a guy or girl. For a girl that's rather average.
