As an expert in the field of linguistics and semantics, I can provide an insightful answer to your question. The phrase "What is nothing short?" is somewhat ambiguous without context. It could be interpreted as asking for a definition of the term "short" in relation to "nothing," or it could be a request to identify something that is not lacking in a particular quality or quantity.
In a literal sense, "nothing" is the concept of the absence of anything at all. It is a philosophical and mathematical concept that represents the null or void. When we talk about something being "short," we usually refer to a lack of length, height, or duration. However, since "nothing" is already the absence of anything, it doesn't have attributes like length or height, so it cannot be described as being "short" in the conventional sense.
If we consider "short" as a metaphor for "lacking" or "incomplete," then "nothing" could be said to be the ultimate form of being short of anything. But this is a philosophical interpretation rather than a literal one.

phrase. You use nothing short of or little short of to emphasize how great or extreme something is. For example, if you say that something is nothing short of a miracle or nothing short of disastrous, you are emphasizing that it is a miracle or it is disastrous. [emphasis] The results are nothing short of magnificent.
