Small in Stature

Insults for tall people will follow in another quote:


Hermia: "Little again? Nothing but 'low' and 'little'? Why will you suffer her to flout me thus? Let me come to her.


Lysander: Get you gone, you dwarf! You minimus of hindering knotgrass made! You bead, you acorn!

---William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream
