At what hieght are you classed as a midget ???  i heard it was 4ft 11ins !!!!!

Apparently midget isn't a recognised term medically, so you (or rather 'one') wouldn't be classed as such. found the following though, which to me reads as though you're about right.

Q: What is the definition of dwarfism?

Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that.

Q: What is a midget?

A: In some circles, a midget is the term used for a proportionate dwarf. However, the term has fallen into disfavor and is considered offensive by most people of short stature. The term dates back to 1865, the height of the "freak show" era, and was generally applied only to short-statured persons who were displayed for public amusement, which is why it is considered so unacceptable today.

checked on a website called midget manifesto and it said under 50 inches i.e. official dwarf size but in regular proportion. so thats only 4' 2" otherwise my ma would be a midget at 4' 11" when in fact shes only welsh

Sorry ENGLISHBIRD but this IRISHFELLA  was not reffering to himself as he's 6ft 1" (a bit taller than a midget) i was asking for a young girl i work with.

[Englishbird]

sorry, didn't mean to infer it was about you, was trying to be correct, but always found the use of 'one' very poncy so never know whether to use it or not!  - 6'1' Irish fella eh, keep talking, lol ;o)

Micko, But to be honest, you misled me as well by your question, thought you were vertically challenged, and your username doesn't exactly sound  like a man's name.

Anyway glad to hear that you are a 6'1" Irish gentleman.
