/Sounds like "peh" (as in "pet") + "TEE" (as in "tea") + "soh" (as in "solo")/

Meaning

A short-statured person. In Argentina 'petiso' is used more naturally than 'bajito' and can be affectionate or just descriptive, not necessarily offensive. The Argentine petiso usually takes it with humor.

Examples
