short-arm parade noun an inspection of the genitals of a group of men for sexually transmitted infection AUSTRALIA, 1977- [W]e were told to report to hut number so-and-so. “What for?” we enquired naively. “Short arm parade,” was the curt reply. Naive was right. I had the idea we were going to get injections of some sort. We didn’t. Instead, after entering the hut, we were ordered to strip. Then, a white-coated officer walked down the line, playing cough-and-jiggle while he examined our genitals. — Bettina Arndt, The Australian Way of Sex, p. 10, 1984
