“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.

Get the Man Inchmug. Hym "They just found 15 inch long flying stick bugs in Australia. Another reason to light it on fire and then feed the flames until the end of time. Global bonfire! We can call it 'The world's fireplace!' Literally anything would be better than litterally everything that exists in Australia. God I fucking hate that place I swear I will destroy it."
