Our first night at ski school was always referred to as "dwarf tossing" when dealing with the little kids on the magic . the kcarpetids would fall off in all sorts of directions and positions. we basically had all hands on deck to recover downed short people, get them out of the way of the out of control short people, get them upright and shove them off in the direction of someone looking like an instructor wearing something that looked like our school jacket.
so yeah, inappropriate terms for awkward situations
