Short men (5)

I believe the answer is:

gents

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'men' is the definition.
(gent is a kind of man)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for gents that I've seen before include "Men (colloq.)" , "toilet" , "Public convenience" , "Male loos" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
