(FINANCE) the situation in which a derivatives trader with a short position is wrong about the behavior of the market. Having sold shares of stock he doesn't own, he is now compelled to buy them at a higher price than he sold them for (in order to reimburse whomever he borrowed the shares from).
If the short position was taken by writing naked options (i.e., issuing call options of stock the trader doesn't happen to have), then the trader has to buy shares of underlying stock in order to honor the options.
It's extremely expensive for traders to have to cover their shorts.
The surprising stock rally came as a shock. Nicholas Leeson had been riding high, but now he was furiously covering shorts, and driving the share prices higher still. By closing bell, he was ruined.

A pair of shorts usually from American Eagle or Abercrombie & Fitch that sit so far low on the hips that you can see the top of the shorts-wearer's flowery thong. When the legs are lifted or the wearer walks, the ass-cheeks can be seen. A little bit to big in the thighs, even though the wearer is not too skinny herself. Usually worn by girls with low self esteem who dye there hair too much and are LG's.
Guy 1: "OMG when that girl walks i can see her whole ass in those gabi shorts!"
Guy 2: "Hellll Ya lets get us a peice of that LG!"
Gabi: "Ehmagawd man lets like go blaze it while we frolic in a field of wildflowers!"

A "special" pair of shorts that often reside under the bed used to mop up after jerking off. There are also cum socks, cum tees and blow rags.
We were helping him move house, when we lifted up the bed we found his skanky cum shorts.
