A friend of a friend is known as "medium sized Dave". They have no other friends called Dave - tall, short or otherwise.

We have a little dave (or Davelet)
Who is the taller of the two Daves we know.

Also 3 Lizzies, of which little Lizzie is the tallest, but is just one of these people who always seems small.

We're not exactly short on little people either (fnarr!), to the point where we have had to number the ones nicknamed hobbit, and got up to 8 or so.

maybe you're just freakishly tall
and all the hobbits are in fact normal sized.

I now know so many Daves
that one is called Not-quite-as-big-as-Medium-Dave-but-still-quite-a-lot-bigger-than-Little-Dave Dave. Or "Dave" for short.

I recognise this from somewhere
Where did you steal it from? This is going to bug me all day now...

I stole it from me.
The aforementioned Dave was livid when we demoted him from Medium Dave. Livid.

Surely that would be a promotion?
Unless short people are somehow better, which would be lies.

It's from Pratchett, I think

Maybe. *shrug*
I thought I'd made it up myself.

I watched The Squid and the Whale the other day
and the kid in it passes off a Pink Floyd track as his own. When asked why he did it he said "because I felt I could have written it. The fact that it already existed seemed insignificant".

I have a mate called Dave
his name is actually Chris, but someone once said he looked like David Platt, which he doesn't, so from then on I called him Dave. It took off, and everyone called him Dave until he went to uni, and now it's just old friends who do it.
