On the other hand it was only recently that I found out "midget" is as bad a derogatory term as any.
DF says the appropriate terminology is "little person," but sometimes she lies.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Always Anti-fascist!
I believe that is preferred by most little people, yes. Somewhere there is an Indian team that plays as the Whiteys, complete with Colonel Sanders-like mascot.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
According to "Little People, Big World," either "little person" or "dwarf" is appropriate, with "little person" or "LP" seeming to be preferred.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
But I still say if all the other apartments were full of women, and there were 2 guys, they wouldn't make them "the boys"
there have been a few groups of males in my life referred to as "the boys". There's some friends of D's dad who live together who everybody seems to call "the boys". When we had two guy roommates sharing a room in our house we called them "the boys" (but also, "Los Hermanos" and "those dickheads"). And among my group of close friends in Chicago, a lot of the time we referred to our husbands as "the boys" especially when they were building slot cars or model rockets.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That is so awesome! My siblings used to get into a fight over Chief Illiniwek (RIP) because sister said the half-time performance was a mockery of native american ritual and how would people feel if a sports team was called "the popes" and a guy in a white robe and a pointy hat came out on the field and did a mock mass. My brother said, "that would be great!"

Only as a joke, though, Trudy--U of Northern Colorado is the Bears, apparently...

It looks like they were an intramural team that last played in 2003 but still totally awesome.

Yeah, it was an intramural team. Intermural? The kind that only plays on campus.
