One of the four worst heights to be for a man. The other three are 4'11, 5'0, and 5'1. Anything under 4'10 is interesting because the man is a certified midget, without question. Anywhere from 4'11 to 5'2 and he doesn't quite fit either midget or grown up size very well, and people around don't quite know how to classify him even though there's no way to try without seeming like a height bigot or short manophobe. A man this size is the size of a petite female, and is usually the next most badass, toughest group at the bar, after midget men.
Dave noticed that even though Paul was only 5'2, he felt small in comparison standing next to him, somehow dave felt compelled to prove that he was a man, not a mouse even though Dave was 6 foot.
