A "short round" in fire mission speak is indirect fire (artillery, mortar, etc.) that lands short of the intended target, possibly endangering friendly troops. In Indiana Jones speak, it's a small Asian kid kicking bad guy ass. In WAF speak, it's a brief post designed to draw attention to something of interest somewhere else on the Errornet.

This Short Round is dedicated to Day By Day. If you're not a regular Day By Day reader already, you're missing one of the funniest conservative slanted cartoons in, well, ever.
