I think that works the opposite of how you think it does.

There are probably a lot of people who would think 4'13" is shorter than 5'.

Unless you're trying to sound petite, then you do you.

I used to know a couple, the woman was 5'0". And her husband would call her 4'12", and it made her so irritated. I thought it was great, and also better than 5'0". But ya, she did not.

Had a friend in college who was tall. When people would ask, she’d say 5’12”. Loved the confused looks.
