In prison, every single inmate who is less than 5 feet tall is always known as "Shortie".

I think that's also how it is in the hood.

(I'm 5'10'', in case you were wondering.)
 
I thought that was "shawties", no?
That's "Shawty". Learn the difference, ytboi.
Well, this made me curious about the word's etymology, and I came across Wikipedia's definition of the term. It equates both "shorty" and "shawty" as one term.
>Shawty, shorty, shauty or shortie is a slang term from African American Vernacular English used generally as a nonspecific term of endearment. Shawty is a Southern and African American variant of shorty, and can refer to someone of any gender who is shorter in stature compared to a taller person. It is also frequently used to amicably address newcomers, children, and good friends.
 
Well, I mean, the all-time record for women is 8'6.75'', so...
Trijntje Cornelisdochter Keever (10 or 16 April 1616 – 2 July 1633), nicknamed De Groote Meid ('The Tall Girl'), is alleged to be the tallest woman in recorded history, standing 9 Amsterdam feet[1] or 2.60 metres (8 ft 6.75 in)[2] tall at the time of her death at age seventeen.

Would have been more kino to make a movie about her than the actual "Tall Girl" movie

Fair, and to be honest I thought shawty was slang for "super hot-ty" for a while
That's the problem with... urbanites, the same word can mean very different things. As an example I heard a rapper mention a "ten", and I assumed he was talking about a pistol chambered in 10mm (like how a "nine" is a 9mm), but he was actually referring to a MAC-10.
