| | Midget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the 19th century, midget was a medical term referring to an extremely short but normally-proportioned person (e.g., with growth hormone deficiency), and was used in contrast to dwarf, which denoted disproportionate shortness. |
 | | Midget is a general term, however, and is also used, for example, to denote a class of small objects, such as a class of very small sailboats or racing cars. |
 | | The term "midget" is still used within professional wrestling in lieu of more politically correct synonyms (see midget wrestler, midget tossing). |
