pint-size
Like a munchkin
Pint-size means small, especially describing a person who is shorter than average.
The term evokes the pint—a modest unit of liquid measure—applied to human scale: a pint-size dynamo, pint-size kids in soccer uniforms.
Often affectionate rather than dismissive.
Also spelled pint-sized.
