Short
含义: A small measure of spirits; a shot.
A 'short' is a spirit served in a small glass—whisky, gin, vodka, etc. It contrasts with 'long drinks' like pints or mixed drinks. British pub measures for shorts are typically 25ml or 35ml (single) or double that. 'Just a short' suggests a quick drink.
