Smallotry Quiz

Here are three real testimonials from my blog's real readers. I want you to read them and think about whether they are examples of smallotry, and then just think some more about things you don't get a chance to think about that often. You can't spend your whole life avoiding thinking about death. It is real, and terrifying.

Testimonial 1:
I'm a short lady, and I enjoy sleeping next to my tall hubby because he makes me feel safe and loved. The only thing is that lately before we go to sleep, he calls me another woman's name and tells me he thinks his wife is crazy. Is he making fun of me because I am short?

Testimonial 2:
I am a short man and a lot of times at the office people will say things like, "Hey Junior, how was your 'big' golf game this weekend?" Are they making fun of me for being short, or are they just saying my name, which is Junior, and referring to the fact that I post weekly pornographic films of myself on the office server under the file name 'big golf game'?

Testimonial 3:
I write history books, and one thing I can never figure out is what's the difference between ibid and idem for a bibliography? I am also fluent in Latin, so this is really stupid of me.
