He had the bags already on him so I give him the money and he hands it to me. Excited I got some dank because I was dry for a few days I wait till I get home to weigh.

00By the way could you help me understand exactly the meaning of the verb 01b00" to short " 02b00I have consulted dictionaries but cannot understand because the dictionaries do not provide examples.

0To "short" someone means to give them less than they paid for. If you pay for a pound of cheese and receive only 3/4 of a pound, you have been "shorted" one-fourth of a pound.0-
