That all depends on what you compare it to. In strict anatomy language, a bone that is longer than it is wide is a long bone. But even if it's a "long bone" by definition, it's still fairly short in everyday terms - particularly when compared to the femur for instance.
the metatarsals are long bones, despite the name. short bones look like cubes, at carpal and tarsals
