“1 ml short of an inch” is essentially a joke. Mixing millilitres (volume) with inches (length) gives this idiom an absurd, confused and humorous edge.
Close, but not quite there.
Almost there.
Someone who’s slightly off in thinking, in a funny or endearing way.
Someone that’s pulling the wool over your eyes.
Close but no cigar.
If you had brains you’d be dangerous.
If your balls weren’t in a bag you’d lose them.
It’s about almost having the full picture but missing the key piece that reveals the trick.
The swapped measurements between imperial and metric systems creates a sense of not only being short, but also being mismatched or confused in the attempt.

JD: Hey, how's it going. Sorry I can't stay, I've got to be awake at 6 o'clock tomorrow.
Regis: There's nothing wrong with "staying short"/"going short"/"short tripping".
You go to a bar with the intent of being there only to be seen, have one drink, see someone that is conveniently available and GTFO (get the f**k out) as soon as possible.
