I get what you're saying, but I still think it's a very accurate label. People feel obliged to call newborns cute and beautiful -- and they are in their own, slimy squishy way -- but let me tell you, "long" just works, and they don't mind one bit.

Oh, and if you were to suddenly become a vegatable, you'd still be referred to as short.
