Who here is short!?

[doodo!]

I'm a short guy and damn some guys tower over me. It makes me feel sort of weird.

Wait, why did I start a new thread for this? I'm sorry, I don't know why I did this...

[The Highway]

I'm not short, I'm fun sized!

Actually, I've shot up over the last few months.

[Irishmile]

I am just shy of average... Not short really, but I often feel so.

[prizna]

I wonder when the hidden people will start commenting in this thread :p

[PecanBlue]

Well how short would you consider to be **short**?

[doodo!]

I was never good with feet and inches. I don't even know how tall I am. I think I've heard that the average height isn't too tall though.

At least people don't call you a bean or grain of rice. :D

I'm fairly short, five foot one inch. Didn't really care until my younger brother shot up to five foot eight and counting. Then my friends watched FullMetal Alchemist and thought it was really funny to call me a bean.

[splash1]

Compared to most of my family members, I feel very short.

[DarkStar Runner]

I feel short as well, but I am 5'3"...but my bro is 5'10"...soo...

[Jenny]

Well, short people tend to live longer than really tall people. So.... it can be a good thing.

I'm 5 foot, 4 inches. And sometimes I wish I was taller, especially when I walk past all those ridiculously tall nyc model types. :mad:

But I don't mind being a little shorter, at least I won't get bad posture because I'm always looking up! :p

[LowMoralFiber]

I'm about 6'0. But I still feel short since almost all of my friends are 6'3 or taller.

[roumeaz]

Dough - i am 6,1 in height .. allways thought thats tall ...

[Giant Tope]

why has this come up so often recently?

[adventureaddict]

I'm not short, I'm fun sized!

I have two t-shirts with that quote written on them!

I'm just under 5ft - 152cm!
My tall friends(..mainly just one) picks on me all the time. I don't mind though :P

[Alcoremortis]

I don't mind...until people ask me when I'm going to high school. Then I get a little pissed, as I'm a third year college student. On the plus side, I can still get a movie theater discount without showing any proof, so I guess there are some benefits. :D

[Cheri]

5'2.5". Yes, I've gotten it down to that exact measurement. Anything to seem taller.

[The Highway]

"He must be a kid. He's so short. Like a hobbit. A little tiny hobbit."

Tell me, has the wind ever blown you away? Do you ever get intimidated coming in contact with so many giants during the day? And how do you avoid the problem of being stepped on? Has anyone ever called you Mini Me or mistaken you for Gary Coleman? Do people frequently shout out in the middle of class, "The plane! The plane!"?

Yeah, they are totally just inflating the numbers by using a smaller unit of measurement.

As a completely unrelated note, I'm only 0.0000000000000001924 lightyears tall; I feel minuscule!

[skeeter]

163 ish cm.... or 5 foot 4 and a half.... 3 quarters in a pinch. I think it's an average height for a female... pity pretty much everyone else in my family is taller - my brother is 6 foot 3 and I get neck ache talking to him!

[taumel]

I am 1,860321468e-16 Lj tall (haha) but my weight equals an energy of 5,1229045188e18 Ws.

[PressidentMax]

I'm a midget....

[Friar]

I'm pretty tall (around 6ft 3, which is around 1.83 m), but the rest of my family is 'vertically challenged'.

[jeeno0142]

I'm quite short. (I even say so in my profile)! But I'm happy. Good things come in small packages!

It is somewhat annoying when my collegues put things that I need out of reach though.

[SHODANFreeman]

I'm about 6'4" to 6'5"

[Avistew]

I'm fairly short, five foot one inch. Didn't really care until my younger brother shot up to five foot eight and counting. Then my friends watched FullMetal Alchemist and thought it was really funny to call me a bean.

That's funny, because due to "bean stalk" meaning a tall person, I'd associate beans with being tall, not short.

I'm not short, but I'm guilty of flawed perceptions due to my husband being 6'6" (1m98).

For instance, after I spent a year in Canada with my husband and his roommate (the roommate is slightly shorter), when I went back and saw my dad I kept asking him if he was sure he wasn't shorter than me. Had to look in a mirror to see that indeed, he's taller, but I'm so used to my husband that in comparison everyone seems that much shorter.

So I can imagine it would be annoying to anyone who already feels too short. Sorry about that if I ever do it to you, I've done it to people who are tall! It's a comparison thing, he's pretty much the only human I see, and he's huge.

[pluizig]

I'm 1m78 (about 5'11''), so I guess that's average, globally, but in the Netherlands a male below 1m80 (6ft) is considered to be on the short side.

[patters]

I'm pretty tall (around 6ft 3, which is around 1.83 m), but the rest of my family is 'vertically challenged'.

192cm actually, I'm the same height.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

I'm not short (179cm), and I was actually one of the tallest boys when I was at school, highschool and university, and I used to be quite thin, so I seemed to be even taller than I really was. But now I'm 30 years old, I've grown a little belly, and I work with teenagers who are incredibly tall so I sometimes feel quite short when I'm among them. Thanks God I'm still one of the tallest on my group of friends...

[Avistew]

I find it interesting how people mention heights differently. Putting aside the imperial people, I mean by that that some people will say, say, 150cm, some 1.50m, some 1m50. Do some say 1m50cm?

I know in France you say 1m50, or you write it "un mètre cinquante". Same with money, you'd say 1€50, not 1.50€ or, as people do in English, €1.50.

Actually French is consistent that way. You'd also say 1L50, 1h30 (or 1h50) and so on.

[taumel]

French is a bad language for things like numbers for instance.

[Avistew]

How so?
I personally like it. Of course that's the first one I knew. But for instance, you say 1.23 or something, and in French it's 1,23. Makes more sense to me, a comma shows it's part of the same "sentence", but a different part of said sentence. 1.23 kinda looks to me like it's supposed to be two different numbers. Although I guess I can talk since when you use a comma, we use a space. As in, three thousands, you'll write it 3,000, we'll write it 3 000.

I remember seeing stuff like a house shown as costing 600,000 something, and thinking "wow, it's cheap", because I thought the comma meant the same as in French. It was pretty confusing.

[Giant Tope]

Well anyways, I'm 5'2". Second tallest in a family of short people.

Also, I thought it'd be appropriate to post this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NvgLkuEtkA).

Don't the French say 90 like '4 times 20 plus 10'?

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Don't the French say 90 like '4 times 20 plus 10'?Oh, that's true, if I remember my French classes correctly. Quatrevingts dix, it isn't?
In Basque it's something similar: Laurogei ta hamar, being "lau"=4 "ogei"=20 (or "hogei" when it's alone), "ta"="and, plus", and "hamar"=10
By the way, in Spain we also use the comma for 1,79 instead of the dot (1.79).
We use the dot for the thousands (3.000=three thousands)
And we usually say numbers as French people, like Avistew said in post #32

[Avistew]

Oh, yeah. But believe me, as a math-challenged person, it's very helpful! I never forget that 4x20=80. It's neat.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

I always had a problem, when translating foreign texts to Spanish, with the very big amounts, beyond the million.
Because I know, for example, that in many countries 1,000,000,000 (10^9) is a billion, but in Spain a billion is 1.000.000.000.000 (10^12). Many professional translators keep forgeting that and they make very big mistakes sometimes.
But, how the bigger amounts do work?
In Spain, each number (trillion, quatrillion, quintillion, etc...) is a million of the previous one: a billion is a million of millions, a trillion is a million of billions, a quatrillion is a million of trillions and so on.
How it works in other countries? Is each number always a thousand times the previous? A billion is a thousand millions, a trillion is a thousand billions, and so on?

And about the French and the Basque languages counting by "twenties", I think it must have something to do with the humans having twenty fingers.
I still don't have figured out from where come the languages that count by "sixties", though. I think there's a few of them (don't remember which, though. Mostly ancient and almost forgoten languages, like some pre-columbian, IIRC), and I find that very intriguing...

[Giant Tope]

...I think it must have something to do with the humans having twenty fingers.


Wait, you mean digits, right?

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Well, including fingers, thumbs and toes (they all share the same word in Spanish...)

[Giant Tope]

In English, fingers generally refer to the digits on the hands and toes refer to digits on the feet. Fun to learn how that is in Spanish. :>

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

In Spanish, "dedos" means "digits". There are no especific words to "fingers" nor "toes", the word "dedos" is used in both, and if you want to distinguish them you have to add "de las manos" or "de los pies"
We have especific words for each digit on the hand, though.

[TheNuclearReactor]

Getting linked to this threat makes me feel SO special.


[5'1" ;n; AT 16 WAH]

[Avistew]

I always had a problem, when translating foreign texts to Spanish, with the very big amounts, beyond the million.
Because I know, for example, that in many countries 1,000,000,000 (10^9) is a billion, but in Spain a billion is 1.000.000.000.000 (10^12).

Same in French. 1,000,000 = un million; 1,000,000,000 = un milliard; 1,000,000,000,000 = un billion.
I don't know for sure above that.

And about the French and the Basque languages counting by "twenties", I think it must have something to do with the humans having twenty fingers.

One franc used to be twenty "sous" (the "cents" of the time although of course they weren't called cents since you didn't need a hundred of them to get one of the main currency), although that might have come from the number of digits. So a lot of things were counted in twenties because that meant one franc.

Incidentally, French uses the word "doigt" which means digit, and "toe" is often said "doigt de pied" (foot's digit) because "doigt" usually mean the hand's (or all. But if you don't specify, it doesn't mean just the toes).
But there is also a word, "orteil", that means toe.

However, there isn't a word that means "finger", as in, only the hand digits.

[plrichard]

I'm about 6'5", so I guess not exactly short.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

1,000,000,000 = un milliard;In Spanish there's a word very similar for that, "millardo", but almost nobody uses it, most people just says "mil millones" (a thousand millions), or, incorrectly (due to the English influence), "billón".One franc used to be twenty "sous"Oh, that's true, I remember my French aunts talking about that. They had a lot of difficulties to adapt themselves to the change from the old francs, with "sous", to the "new" francs (new at that time), with cents.

[puzzlebox]

This would be interesting as a poll.

I'm 5'4" (162cm), which I guess is on the shorter side of average for a female. For some reason I often don't really notice how tall people are... I'll generally assume that even 6'+ men are "a bit" taller than me until I see a photograph of us together and realise that I barely reach their shoulder. :p

Pre-decimalisation, the UK had shillings, 20 of them made up a pound. They still had pence as well, 12 of them in a shilling - so it was 240 pence in a pound rather than the 100 it is today. I wonder if people were better at basic arithmetic back then.

Incidentally, French uses the word "doigt" which means digit, and "toe" is often said "doigt de pied" (foot's digit) because "doigt" usually mean the hand's (or all. But if you don't specify, it doesn't mean just the toes).

However, there isn't a word that means "finger", as in, only the hand digits.

In Italian, I was taught "diti" for fingers and "diti dei(?) piede" for toes (a bit hazy on the conjunction... and the other words for that matter). Don't know if there is a specific word for toes as well.

[VeronicanPlay]

I have actually been told I am rather tall, but that is just due to my long legs. But I am actually rather short, my little brother is towering over me, and it hurts my neck looking up at him. :p

[PressidentMax]

Me 4 ft 5 1/2!

[Shwoo]

I'm 5'4" (162cm), which I guess is on the shorter side of average for a female.
That's not even short. It's just average.

I'm 163cm, which would also be 5'4''. I was one of the tallest in my class, boy or girl, when I was eleven, then everyone else caught up to me.

[taumel]

How so?
Because for instance of

50 - cinquante
60 - soixante
70 - soixante-dix
80 - quatre-vingt
90 - quatre-vingt dix

31 - trente-et-un
71 - soixante-onze
81 - quatre-vingt un
91 - quatre-vingt onze

:

[puzzlebox]

That's not even short. It's just average.

I meant average, but towards the lower end of what would be considered average in Australia. I phrased that very poorly. :)

This is pretty interesting, a table of average heights around the world (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Average_height_around_the_world). The average for Australian women aged 18-24 in 1995 was 5'5". That cohort is a fair bit older than me, I wonder if the average for that age group would have increased at all 15 years on.

I'm 163cm, which would also be 5'4''. I was one of the tallest in my class, boy or girl, when I was eleven, then everyone else caught up to me.

I had the opposite experience - I was one of the shortest in my group of girlfriends at high school, most of them were 5'7" or more.

On the subject of the fingers/toes thing, I spoke to my colleague from Hong Kong about it this morning. Apparently in Cantonese it's pretty much the same as in English. There are separate words for "fingers" and "toes". There are also individual words to identify each of the fingers (like we would have "thumb", "index finger" etc), but no special words for individual toes.

And he says that the direct translation of appendix is something like "blind intestine". I thought that was kind of cool.

[Avistew]

In Spanish there's a word very similar for that, "millardo", but almost nobody uses it, most people just says "mil millones" (a thousand millions), or, incorrectly (due to the English influence), "billón".

I just thought about it, and I realised how it goes for bigger figures. Adding three zeros each time, we have million, milliard, billion, billiard, trillion, trilliard.


31 - trente-et-un
71 - soixante-et-onze
81 - quatre-vingt un
91 - quatre-vingt onze


The "et" are added for pronunciation. So, when it's a vowel after. You say "trente-et-un' but "trente-deux" because the "et" got inserted there due to it being harder to pronounce otherwise. So typically before "un" and "onze", not before anything else.
80 is different because if you said "quatre-vingt-et-un" it would sound like "4x21" instead of "4x20+1". So it's a result of the counting in twenties.

But it's interesting how I don't think of these things until people point them out.
In turn, I've always found English dates incredibly weird because 1985 is "nineteen eighty five" instead of "a thousand, nine hundred and eighty five". It's a bit hard to process how it's told as two different numbers.

About fingers, the names in French are:

pouce (thumb)
index (index)
majeur (middle finger, literally "main/longest finger")
annulaire (ring finger)
auriculaire (pinkie, literally "ear finger")

None of the names include "finger" in them since it's implied. You can't actually say "doigt pouce" or "doigt index" or "doigt majeur", people probably wouldn't even get what you're talking about (well, maybe for majeur onwards, because these can be used as adjectives. But pouce and index are just nouns and can't be used as adjectives anyways).

pulgar (thumb)

corazón (middle finger, literally "heart")
anular (ring finger)
meñique (little finger)
You can use the words alone, the "finger" meaning is implied, but unlike in French, you can also say "dedo pulgar", etc... And is advisable to do that when talking about the middle finger ("dedo corazón") when the context don't make clear if you are talking about finger or about inner organs...

[Little Writer]

I'm 5'9". Some are taller, some are shorter. I don't really pay attention to people's heights.

[taumel]

@Avistew

Well, i think speaking 92 like quatre-vingt-douze (4x20+12) is just weird and not this practical. But i have to confess that in german things also could be enhanced as it's indo-germanic and we first spell the lower number 2 and then 90. Maybe it would be better doing it the other way around but still it's less messed up than in french. :O)

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

@we first spell the lower number 2 and then 90.That remembers me how confused I was in my first English lessons when they taught us how to say what time is it.
In Spanish, we first say the hour and then how many minutes are past or lack from that hour (10:15="diez y cuarto", 12:20="doce y veinte", 8:45="nueve menos cuarto") and I had a hard time learning to say it all the way around (a quarter past ten, twenty past twelve, a quarter to nine...)

[doodo!]

http://code2ave.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/readingrainbow.jpg

[Didero]

I'm Dutch, which according to Puzzlebox's list are one of the tallest people around, and I'm above that average.
So in short, to the question in the topic: Not me!

[Avistew]

That remembers me how confused I was in my first English lessons when they taught us how to say what time is it.
In Spanish, we first say the hour and then how many minutes are past or lack from that hour (10:15="diez y cuarto", 12:20="doce y veinte", 8:45="nueve menos cuarto") and I had a hard time learning to say it all the way around (a quarter past ten, twenty past twelve, a quarter to nine...)

Oh, wow! I had completely forgotten about that! I remember now I had a lot of trouble with that too.
My main problem was that while I always remembered that "past" meant "after", I tended to think that "to" meant "after" as well.
Sometimes I still say "It's five minutes before nine" or "it's five minutes after nine" so I'm sure I get it right.

The funny thing in French, which might be the same in Spanish, is how you can omit the hour if you assume the person knows it.

So, instead of "il est dix heures moins le quart" (it's ten hours minus a quarter, literally) you can just say "il est moins le quart" (it's minus a quarter), which I guess can sound weird.

Of course, in English you can say "It's a quarter to" without the hour, either...
Oh, I remember how weird it was to remember not to say "hour" at all. Like, I'd always put "o'clock" everywhere before, but you can just say "it's five" or "it's ten minutes past one", or really, even "it's ten past one", and you don't specify minutes or hour. That and "I'm 25" without specifying "years old", meaning you often say numbers in English without saying what they are at all. You can't do that in French.

[guitarsareboring]

I'm pretty short... about 5ft 5 / 5ft 6 ish.

I'm not really that short...but I am short.

[that1person]

I'm short. 1,63 m. Luckily I was never made fun of my height but for my haircolour though.

[Iryon]

I'm on the shorter side of average ... but I don't know exactly at what height, since I've not been measured in years.

After reading the thread, I have just realised that in German we have a word for fingers and one for toes but there is no word summing them up like digits.

We have names for the fingers as well and interestingly we name the two outer toes of each foot as 'großer Zeh' (hallux) and 'kleiner Zeh' (digitus minimus) while the other toes are nameless.

[StrongBrush1]

On the contrary, I'm pretty normal for my age. But I'm 14 and everyone else still treats me like a short and dumb kid. It makes me angry.

[Everlast]

Well im 5'7 but i do feel short. I wanted to grow to 6'2, but sadly my mom is short, my dad is about my height and none of my brothers made it past 5'7.

So question is 5'7 short or tall or avg?

[Alcoremortis]

It depends on who you're standing next to. :p

But I think it's fairly average or on the slightly short side of average.

[Friar]

I'm 6'3", but i'd rather be short. Then i'd have smaller feet, and would actually be able to buy shoes in normal shops. Size 13 (UK) FTL.

[Alcoremortis]

Not necessarily. I'm short and have a horrible time shopping for shoes so I generally just buy whatever happens to be in my size if I can find it. Usually, though, I just keep repairing my current shoes since my favorite brands stopped carrying shoes in my size. T_T

I'd rather be slightly taller with my abnormally small feet because then I would be able to find my size in places other than the children's section. I really don't like tiny rocket ships on my shoes. :D

[puzzlebox]

I really don't like tiny rocket ships on my shoes. :D

Ooh, I would probably buy those. I like footwear that makes people stop and go, "Hey, nice shoes!" Even if it is occasionally, "Hey, nice shoes... *snicker*" :p

[Alcoremortis]

Well, kids shoes don't have VAT on them (in the UK anyway), plus, i would love to have a pair of light-up shoes again. Anyone remember those? They lit up when you walked. *sighs*

My main problem with kids shoes is that they don't have Pumas, which are my favorite brand. I never had light up shoes (though I was always really envious of the kids who did...also the shoes with the wheels in them :D).

It's just that now what I really need is a flat, black, flexible shoe with lots of toe room so that I can use it for fencing. Puma has stopped making my size and has changed the style of their shoes to a very uncomfortable, stiff style that hurts my feet. This bugs me because if I was a half a size bigger I could get Converse instead (which meets all my qualifications).

[Psuni]

I'm 5'10 1/2 to 5'11. I guess it depends what shoes or socks I'm wearing ;)

Not really short, but my girlfriend is like 4'11 -- she's short.

[Avistew]

I dislike that in Canada, my size is different for men or women's shoes (or I guess in junior if they have some my size?). In France you get a size that just depends on your size, and no matter where you buy it's the same. Now I have to remember lots of different sizes.
Although the men's one is the one I use the most considering I can never find nice looking, comfortable women's shoes. Sometimes I can't even find flat shoes to begin with, and that's my most important requirement for shoes.

[The Highway]

I find it funny that you feel forced to wear mens shoes

[Avistew]

I don't feel forced to. They just offer better male shoes than female shoes, and I'd rather wear the ones that don't hurt my feet and look better.

[The Highway]

Makes sense

I'm 6'4" but my best friend is 6'8" and my father is 6'6" so I sorta know the pain of being a short person... actually not really... actually not at all :p

I'm 6'3", but i'd rather be short. Then i'd have smaller feet, and would actually be able to buy shoes in normal shops. Size 13 (UK) FTL.

My friend, same one as mentioned above, has size 19 feet (no, that's not a typo :eek:). It's insane, his feet are almost twice the size of mine. His only hope for shoe shopping is specialty internet stores :o

I'm 6'2"

[Icedhope]

Did I mention already that my wife is 4'11"? She is a little shorty.... I am nearly a foot taller and weigh about twice as much.

She is the one in the middle of this pic (the other girls are childhood friends)

Hehe, Falanca's short. I'd make a joke but it would probably just go over his head.

*sighs* I'm shorter than you. I'm about 5 foot 6 inches tall. LOL, insecure statements followed, were edited out. I'm ok being short I'm attracted to short girls. I'm mostly attracted to girls with class though, I don't care what other guys think. I work out though because so many jerks are out there and I need to be able to hold my own...

The joke itself is funny, but 1m 77 is hardly short...

[doodo!]

:D Tall girls are attractive too...

[Irishmile]

I had dated girls that were taller.... its weird at first.

My cousin married a taller woman. I never dated any one, well I sort of did once...

[Avistew]

Taller than her or taller than you?
I've been with guys shorter than me (I'm 5'6", 1m65) and guys around my height (barely taller) so 6'6" is a big difference for me. Was hard to adjust at first, but you get used to it.

[JedExodus]

I'm Dutch, which according to Puzzlebox's list are one of the tallest people around, and I'm above that average.
So in short, to the question in the topic: Not me!

When I sit on a Dutch toilet my legs barely reach the ground sometimes, and i'm 6ft on the the dot. All of my women have been shorter than me. I don't think it'd bother me to go with someone taller though....maybe

LOL he just waited someone "not tall" to post in this thread to make that joke but everyone keeps giving answers like 6'+. It's freakish, does every one of you drink radioactive milk or something?

[Giant Tope]

6'+ isn't all that uncommon around here. Sure it's kinda tall, but it's not overly tall.

[doodinthemood]

LOL he just waited someone "not tall" to post in this thread to make that joke

You knew :o I thought of it straight after my first post, and then everyone kept on being tall. I'm glad I didn't anger you though


...cos I heard you have a short fuse

[mgrant]

...I see what you did thar.


I'm 5' 41/2" myself. Not super short, but shorter than 97% of the people I see on a daily basis.

[PainDealer]

I'm short... of cash.

[Falanca]

I'm short... of cash.

Oh, don't even start with that one o^o

[doodinthemood]

Looks like paindealer drew the short straw

Awww, I was expecting more of a reply.




But then...




Falanca is...

[PainDealer]

6'0" - 183cm

Not kinda sorta short but not kinda sorta tall either. That's always been my place, in the middle.

[Origami]

I is 1,76 cm ~ 5,9 feet. Not that tall but I love it. :D
It's a great length as a sportsman

[Irishmile]

Thats about how tall I am.

[BrakMan2005]

uh...yeah, I'm about 5'6''. Yeah...

[corruptbiggins]

At 5'11" I'm probably just average. Boring me.

[PainDealer]

At 5'11" I'm probably just average. Boring me.

Nate Robinson is 5'11" and he's got a couple of slam dunk championships ;)

[Ribs]

I actually don't know how tall I am because it's never been important to me :/
