1ml short of an inch

“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.
I followed the recipe exactly, except I swapped sugar to salt. Turns out I was 1ml short of an inch

staying short

To go out (to a bar or someones place) for a short duration of time.
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.

short law

short law is when if your under 5'4, you get to make fun of tall people. If your 5'5 and a short person calls you tall, then you are considered tall. Short people are aloud to abuse tall people as much as they can because to tall people, they don't appear as a threat.
