Midget is a term used to describe an exceptionally short person. The terms "midget" and "dwarf" are often used synonymously, as both terms mean someone who has been short in stature since birth, but those terms were not originally synonyms. Midget is a term that was originally coined in 1865, referring to an extremely short but normally proportioned person. P.T Barnum indirectly helped popularize "midget" when he began featuring General Tom Thumb in his circus. Dwarf was originally used to denote those with short limbs as compared to those who had proportioned limbs. Like many other older terms, "midget" has became part of popular language, it was often used in a pejorative sense. When applied to a person who is very short, midget is now often considered offensive.
My search showed this info:
- The dwarf is a medical term for the person with an extremely short height of less than 147 cm ...
- Midget is a slang word used for a short person that suffers from proportionate dwarfism.
- Dwarfs suffer from disproportionality of body parts.
- Midgets only are short in height with all rest body parts in normal form.
In medieval times, midgets were considered dwarfs, and also were considered magical beings.
Simply put, there is no difference. the term midget is a derogatory term for a person with dwarfism. contrary to popular belief there is more than one type of dwarfism.
