short cover

(FINANCE) when a trader in a short position is wrong about the price movement, and is consequently forced to buy the asset at the higher price in order to meet legal obligations.

The classic example of this is the broker who sells stocks he does not own, in the expectation that he can buy the stock in the future at a lower price for delivery. If the price goes up instead of down, the broker must "cover his shorts," and very possibly drive prices higher still.

When Morgan was ready to squeeze the shorts, he was damn certain his corner would hold as the Twombly men scrambled to buy shares at any price.

"I've got your short cover right here, Gentlemen," he snorted from his seat overlooking the trading pit.

short selling

(FINANCE) borrowing securities for immediate sale, in anticipation of a sharp decline. Short selling requires strong nerves and excellent market timing; it also requires the ability to locate tranches of securities to borrow. If the short seller is correct, then she can buy back the securities at a much lower price, and lock in very high profits with very little initial investment.

Closely related to the concept of a short position. However, a short position includes buying put options (for example), while a long position could include short selling put options. So they are not exactly the same.

If a short sellers are wrong about the market, they are left hastily covering shorts, or buying the item they borrowed at a HIGHER price than they sold it for.

Jim Fisk was a master of the short squeeze; he appeared to cooperate with short selling until he was able to call in loans, forcing his counterparties to cover their shorts.

Short dick man

A short dick man is an entitled dude that cannot bare to let his toxic masculinity get brutally and utterly butt-fucked by principals of femininity and aspects of love. He comes off as a real douche and will do anything to ensure his friends know that he is not about that soft life. He often radiates fuckboy vibes which is what you would expect, hence his lack of personality corresponds to the lack of dick that he has.

Samantha: Why can't we cuddle Mitch?
Mitch: Cuddling throws off my vibe. I don't want the lads to think I am a softie
Samantha: We are over! You are a SHORT DICK MAN!
