Close only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades. It means there is no such thing as almost shot, almost in a head-on collision, almost had a heart attack, almost scored, almost sank that putt, or almost won the lottery. If a bullet misses you by an inch or a mile it makes no difference. If you almost got hit by a car, you still didn`t get hit by that car any more than you got hit by one a mile away. In other words, it means exactly what it says. Your experience of ``close``has nothing to do with the reality of ``missed.``
