six-footer
Above average height
A six-footer is a person who stands six feet tall or taller.
The term applies most often to men, since that height is more notable for them: He was a lanky six-footer with an easy smile.
The construction extends to other measurements—five-footer, seven-footer—though six-footer remains the most common.
