short shaming

No, this has nothing to do with penis length; your dirty mind would go there!

Short shaming is the act of teasing or disparaging a person because of their short stature.

It's a form of discrimination that gets the impunity that racism doesn't. Short shaming has a surprising double standard present in many women: they advocate for the body positivity of themselves and others, yet openly and shamelessly denounce short men.

It's important to remember that height is genetic and unchangeable once a man hits the approximate age of 20; discriminating against it is never a valid criticism. Short men face a lot of discrimination, so just remember to treat them with the respect that everybody deserves. Short shaming is like racism: you're discriminating against a harmless trait that someone cannot change.

Short Dick Memory Loss

One who can not retain information due to a lack of a properly sized penis.

Lore- It's said that these people think with their second head because their actual head is smoother than a bald man's head fresh out of a wax job.

A person diagnosed with SDML is known to forget information attained in the last 10 minutes. The time in which someone loses information often varies depending on how small the penis is. People with smaller penises usually ranging from just tip to 2 inches have shown that they forget way more frequently and will have to ask you to repeat what you said numerous times.

SIDE EFFECTS- No Bitches and possibly no friends
EARLY SIGNS- You can catch early signs of SDML when you measure your penis and it's smaller than 4 inches.
TREATMENTS- None (sorry to break it to ya, hope you got mone cause you ain't pulling shit)
Person 1: Tims's annoying asf, bro keeps saying what.

Person 2: Give him a break, he has Short Dick Memory Loss.

Short Pants Friday

The day always falls on the first Friday in April (this is not negotiable). The weather does not matter, the day must go on!
One's ankles must be showing. What one chooses to wear to display their ankles is left entirely to the discretion of the individual. Eligible participants include anyone.

If the weather is still cold, it is meant to prove that hope will prevail regardless! For those who have the joy to already be frolicking through warmer days, it is meant for the simple joy of celebrating their fortune in that warmer weather.
