“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.
