Dans Gulliver's Travels (1726), l'Irlandais Jonathan Swift raconte les voyages extraordinaires d'un médecin de marine. Après un naufrage, Gulliver se réveille sur une plage et ne peut plus bouger (he couldn't move) : des centaines de minuscules personnages, hauts d'environ quinze centimètres, l'ont attaché au sol ! Pour les Lilliputiens, c'est un géant (a giant). Swift se moque ainsi des disputes ridicules des puissants. Comparatifs : taller than, smaller than, as tall as.
