hair shorts
The hair on the back of your neck. If someone has you by the short hairs, they’ve got you pinned like a bug. Don’t confuse it with the short and curlies, that’s just pubic hair, and it’s for people who have no life.
My teacher had me by the short hairs and I couldn’t even move.
My mom grabbed me by the short hairs and I ran out of the house.
My dad said, 'You’re not getting out of this, I’ve got you by the short hairs!'
