Answer:

People tend to approach something with excessive precaution and indirectly when they feel embarrassed about it, using substitute words or indirect expressions to avoid situations they're not capable of managing, thus people use euphemisms to protect themselves; so to avoid appearing as offensive when addresing a short stature person or shorter than them or the normal, people use the expressions:

<em>"Vertically challenged"</em> or <em>"Altitude challenged"</em>.
