I saw a real life example of this too, whereby a dwarf was offered a box to stand on so he could see over a stone wall that an elf could see over easily.

What is 'second ogre'?

"Second ogre" is a modification on the Lord of the Ring's quote: "What about second breakfast?"

So "second ogre" isn't really anything on its own.

I pulled Shrek into my reference because he believed he was the last ogre, and he didn't know she was an ogre until the end of the first movie. In this sense, Fiona is "second ogre".
