Insults for short people, also known as heightism, are a form of discrimination based on a person’s height. They can range from playful teasing to more serious forms of harassment and bullying.
The use of insults for short people has a long history, dating back to ancient times. In many cultures, taller people have been seen as being more powerful and dominant, while shorter people have been seen as being weaker and less capable. This has led to the development of a number of negative stereotypes about short people, such as the belief that they are less intelligent, less successful, and less attractive than taller people.
