Why they would prefer that term, I’ll never know. It has no pizzaz! A little person? That’s the most dismissive diminutive name they could have picked. 10X as insulting.
Midget at least stakes out some territory of its own! Its weird, and possibly dangerous. Add the phrase “with a knife” to both those terms, and which one sounds way more terrifying? Damn straight.
That being said, I think Tolkien lifted up Dwarf to Demi-god status, I dont know why they wouldn’t want that one. Grow a beard and carry an axe around, and shit, I’d ask for an autograph.
And THAT being said, what kind of fetish freak is that Leo Dicaprio stand-in husband of hers? You know he’s got some issues…..
