In the book, Chili notices that Michael (Martin) Weir is short. This is probably where the film title comes from.

How did you not know Danny Devito's short?
why shoot the breeze about it, when you could be about it

Shorty IS Martin. In the book it's mentioned thousand times that Martin Weir is too short and there is nothing in the book that suggests Leo is short too.

Bear is Shorty. Harry is Shorty. Ray Bones is Shorty. Karen is Shorty. Chili is Shorty.

UmmmmI think you are looking for the most vertically challenged person in the film, and that would be Martin Weir.

The credits on the billboard are funny.
Jersey Films present Martin Weir in a Barry Sonnefeld film NAPOLEAN.
Then, all the same producers, screenplay by, etc as Get Shorty, including
Produced by Danny DeVito, Directed by Barry Sonnefeld.
DeVito producing a movie starring Martin Weir; very clever.
Who's Shorty? The guy (Leo) who was "short" on his payment.
Weir / DeVito is small in stature, but they were trying to "get" him to play Chili.
I don't know, maybe both; ask the guy who wrote "Napolean", Scott Frank
I prefer the toad less raveled
