shortstack

Few fluffy flapjacks

Shortstack is informal for a short person, often used affectionately or teasingly: Hey shortstack, need help reaching that?

The term comes from a short stack of pancakes—a smaller serving than the full stack.

In poker, a shortstack is a player with relatively few chips compared to others at the table.
