midgets
Very small individuals
Midgets is the plural of midget, a term for a very short person, specifically one with dwarfism whose body proportions are typical rather than affected by the condition.
The word is now widely considered offensive—most people with dwarfism prefer "little people" or simply "person with dwarfism." Midget persists in compounds like midget wrestling and as a size category in youth sports leagues, where it refers to age groups rather than stature.
