shorting a stock

taking an investment position that will benefit if the value of the stock goes down. Traditionally, "shorting a stock" means borrowing shares of stock from another broker, selling them, then buying them back (after the price has fallen) in order to return the stocks to the broker from whom they were borrowed.

You can short a stock using a derivative; this can include buying futures in the stock (i.e., a contract to sell someone else the stocks); or buying a put option (also called a put). A third way is to write a call (i.e., a call option, also known as a call) for the stock.

Shorting a stock usually requires a great deal of skill and courage; even the most talented short will only make money during rare crises.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

A brilliant movie, which you can't help watching a million times without gettin bored.
Best if you want to improve your Cockney =)

(From Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels)

- Oh and, if you do have to buy sodding fertiliser, could you be a little more subtle?
- What d'you mean?
- We grow copious amounts of ganja right?
-( nods and smiles stupidly) Yeah !
- And you're carrying a wasted girl and a bag of fertiliser... You don't look like your horti-fucking-culturalist. That's what I mean Willie.

You don’t make soup without stock

Basically going down on your girl when she maybe not the freshest, like after a tough days work and gym and she feels sweaty.

Quite often she’ll not want you to as that’s how unclean she feels, but whole idea is that at least she tastes better than that of soap and bubbles.

You get to appreciate the taste of her natural womanly flavour.

It is truly amber nectar.

Him: I want to muff you so much

Her: it’s not gonna happen tonight, I’ve been down the mine all day and I’m a bit sweaty.

Him: well you don’t make soup without stock

4-stock

(v.) to beat someone badly in any type of game, showing complete dominance over the other player

Origin: From the game Super Smash Bros. by Nintendo, in which both players commonly have 4 lives (stock). Killing another player 4 times without dying once is called 4-stocking, and is a clear show of superiority.

MCYT (Samus) just 4-stocked DREW (Marth). How embarrassing.

Phil Taylor would 4-stock you in a game of darts.
