Alligator arms

When someone "pretends" to reach for the check at a meal with friends but always get to it a little to late.

Or when the bill sits in the middle of the table and nobody reaches for it.

"I'll get it, all of you guys have alligator arms"

Alligator arm

In American football, a would-be pass-receiver's arm extended timidly, less than full length, because he senses a tackler bearing down on him and is not whole-heartedly eager to catch the ball. Usually plural.

"He's open, it's there.... Oh! Off his fingertips, incomplete. He had alligator arms on that one."

alligator arms

Someone that never offers to pay for anything. They suddenly can't reach their wallet/purse when its time to pay the bill because they are cheap.

It should have been $40/each, but John has alligator arms and didn't put any money in.

alligator arms

The art of being too stingy to be able to pay for a bill anywhere anywhere... a person physically unable to reach into his pocket to pull out his/her wallet to pay...

Dave attempted to pay, but his alligator arms could not reach into his pocket.... "Yeah, sure I will pay let me grab my wallet, oh man can you spot me I don't have my debit card with me." Fuckin' alligator arms!!

Man, did you see Ricky Watters of the Philadelphia Eagles and his alligator arms on that pass across the middle? What a punk bitch. I bet he is thinking of his wallet instead of the good of the team.
