It would appear that intellectual midget doesn't translate correctly to intellectual little person.

I don't know, but I have a friend's relative that does work with little people. I said midget in her company. I got fricking torn apart by her. that was maybe 2005 or so.

I can't believe that someone involved in the wrestling industry would have thin skin.

there's a comedy sketch.. I may look for it on YouTube, that says something like:

how can midget be as offensive as the n-word, if the dwarf is saying "midget" and then "n-word" while responding?

Any word you can say can't be that bad as a word you can't say. I don't even know the ban rules here on TD, but I am guessing that if I type out the actual n-word, I am a goner... but I am feeling pretty good about typing midget.

The N word and the full form of fig are the only words that are truly censored, and c-unt becomes count, although it wasn't always that way.

So what do m____ call each other? Little people sounds so childish.

And Australia, known for a particular kind of bowling, using Homo sapiens balls, what are they calling it now? (A link would do.)

Apparently the midget wresting in Chicago draws big crowds and is a weekly event.

What, a thread that is now on page four and has some good replies and funny banter is a bad thread?
