The word moms use to scare you into drinking your milk or eating your vegetables. It means you didn't grow properly. It's not just short, it's *stunted*. Parang 'yung halaman na hindi naarawan at nadiligan, or 'yung career mo pag laging kang "seen-zoned" sa job applications.
Often used to describe people, animals, or plants. Can be considered offensive when used for people.
