I'm pretty sure that I should not be the person small humans look to for inspiration.
Just Saying.

1) It's ableist as all fuck. It's a derogatory term previously used for little people, taken from
The Wizard of Oz
.
2) It's demeaning and cutesy and implies that people younger than you are small children.
3) I'm seventeen, goddamnit, not seven. 'Munchkin' is a term for babies and toddlers, not for teens, no matter how old you are.
