Isn't rise the distance between crotch and waist?
Yes.
How this relates to long and short waists, I do not know.
Me neither.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm saying I think long- or short-waistedness is just about torso:body
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.

Long waist = long torso.
Short waist = short torso.
Short waist is particularly noticeable when coupled with long legs. Otherwise you're just proportionate.

You and Jesse need to fight it out. I'm going with primacy.

::ponders::
So ... I'm short. With long legs. I can't have a long torso, either relative to my height, or absolutely. Does that make me automatically shortwaisted?
I'm tall. With short legs -- automatically long waisted, right?
Can I be tall and long legged and long waisted? Or is that merely taller than tall and long legged and normal or shortwaisted?
