Not reaching one's full potential. The origin of the term is "short selling" a stock (i.e., betting against a company). The "short seller" essentially "borrows" stock from a company and agrees to pay back the company whatever the stock is worth at some point in the future. The purchaser sells the stock immediately, anticipating that the price will fall over the next few months. If the stock price actually falls, the purchaser will pay back the company less money than what the purchaser sold the stock for.

Get the Toilet Seating mug.J D Salinger Jerome David Salinger is an American Author who has passed into legendary status due to his works, The Catcher In
The Rye, Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey etc.
his work centres around disaffection, rebellion, Zen, philosophy and the fictional Glass family. Young children are often seen to offer salvation to those corrupted by the world.
His legendary status is also confirmed by his withdrawal from the publishing world around forty years ago.

Attempts to discover more about Salinger have always ended in failure. He just doesn't want people to know!
