Shortass is a vulgar North American informal term for a short person — typically used as a mild, slightly cruel insult or as a jokey term of affection depending entirely on the relationship between speaker and target. The '-ass' suffix adds crude emphasis and mild mockery beyond simply saying 'short person' or 'shorty.' Register is informal and potentially unkind; context and tone determine whether it's affectionate teasing or a genuine put-down. Not appropriate for formal or professional use.
The shortass at the front kept blocking everyone's view at the concert, which was ironic given his height.
