You could go get sandals after all. I saw a pair at the dread Robinsons May (I was returning pants today).
Har. Oh, har.
I am so not capable.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I don't know if that means anything specific wrt rise.
Rise! That's what I meant. Does one use the term high or long or short rise about people, or just clothes?
So you're saying it's not a proportional thing, it's absolute?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm saying I think long- or short-waistedness is just about torso:body. And I don't know what you call the rise on people, really.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Isn't rise the distance between crotch and waist?
How this relates to long and short waists, I do not know.

Yes.

Me neither.

But isn't the torso shoulder->butt? It's the shoulder->waist:body, you mean?

Robinson's May at the best of times is horrible. This exhausted? With 50 minutes to go? Shoes?
You've met me, right?

Yes, that is what I mean.
Bedtime! Good luck figuring out what to call stuff!

This is why I never can tell:
It's quite simple. A long waist is a long torso. If you are fairly tall and find all trousers are hipsters on you then you are long waisted. Long waisted people also find tops and swimsuits are never long enough. Short waisted means the opposite, so if trouser waistbands always seem to end somewhere near your ribs then you are short-waisted
or
If you're longer from head to waist than from waist to floor, you're long-waisted, and if the opposite is true, then you're short-waisted.
or just
Having a distance between shoulders and waist that is longer than average.
But I'll go with Jesse's definition.
