Haha, right? I could see it as a nickname with an in-group of buddies, especially for the short guy who is a social beast (I've worked for a couple).
As for under 6'...IIRC, 6' and taller is like 14% of men? (Been a while since I read the stats).
Edit: 80-90% of adult American males are under 6'. The average height is 5' 9'.
I've always been one of the smallest around... Never gave a shit after about 2nd grade - once you accept who/what you are, what other people do/say/think just doesn't matter. This is "Growing Up 101" stuff.
