I've not yet been asked if Chloe is a teacup (though she has finally hit the 5lb mark, yay!) but I do get asked often if she's a puppy. I just answer that with her age (a little over a year). Like several others have said, most people aren't interested in a lecture on the myth of teacups and you're aren't going to be able to teach them anything in a five second conversation. If asked, I'd probably just say "Nope, she's just a Yorkie!" with a smile.
Chloe is her own anti-touch advertisement, which sometimes I hate because I feel sorry for the people who are just trying to be friendly. She'll acted interested in strangers until they kneel or hold out a hand toward her and then she'll lay her ears back, cower, and skitter away behind me. Which I don't guess I blame her for...we are all huge compared to her! However, even my brother and his wife get the cold shoulder from her and she sees them at least once a month! I know it just breaks my sister-in-law's heart that Chloe isn't friendly towards her...she tries so hard to tempt Chloe's affections!
