Examples

“the midget pony”

“By using a midget, skin-tight car of the kind made in Italy the Johannesburger might save ⟳ himself much tribulation, but he likes large and glittering things, and would rather toil round his city in vain search ⟳ of a place ⟳ to put ⟳ his supercharged, supergrinning Mammalac than use ⟳ a baby car.”

“They [children] realize ⟳ their oughts no less sharply than their crosses; and this even though they are midgets in a land ⟳ of giants who have ⟳ forgotten much of their language and whose right is often founded solely on force ⟳ majeure.”

“Like ⟳ a midget at a urinal, I was going to have ⟳ to stay ⟳ on my toes.”
