Is there an English word for someone who is *not* a little person or who doesn't have any dwarfism related disorders?

English Language & Usage Asked on July 4, 2021

Pretty much every minority group has words for people outside said minority group. For example: Gay & Trans people call outsiders "Cishet" (short for cisgender & hetersexual), Asexual people call outsiders "Allosexual," intersex people call outsiders "Dyadic," people of the Jewish faith call outsiders the "Goyim" or a "Gentile," Native Hawaiians calls outsiders "Haole," etc.

But I couldn’t find one for people who are not little. The Little People of America website often refers to non-little people as "people of average stature" which is kind of a mouth full. Since my search didn’t turn anything up, I thought maybe there isn’t an official word for a non-little person but there could be a slang term little people use privately. That’s not exactly what I’m looking for. So I came to this website to see if there is an official English word that little people use for non-little people and the "average stature" world in general.

If you don’t know the answer directly, any helpful links would also be greatly appreciated.
