When going out with peers to a bar or restaurant and nobody offers to pay the bill, hence they and yourself have the short arms of a crocodile. 你和同伴们去酒吧或饭馆，却没有一个人主动买单，这就是你们这帮人都在装“鳄鱼的短胳膊”。 Example: It's kind of a turn off when you go on a date with a girl and you got crocodile arms all night.你跟一个女孩约会，却整晚磨磨唧唧不说买单，这意思差不多就是不想跟人家谈了。
