Alligator arms 不肯付账
    2018-07-31  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: How was your date last night?

B: I guess I won’t see him again. It’s kind of a turn off when you go on a date with a girl and you get alligator arms all night.

Note: In American sports, especially football, the term “alligator arms” refers to a receiver who is afraid of taking a hit while trying to catch a pass. Because of this fear, the receiver does not extend his arms as far as he could or should. He keeps his arms closer to his body to protect himself. It’s also used as a metaphor to describe someone who is cheap, because their arms are too short to reach their wallet.
