Sorry, but no.

Those three are all 'bearish' strategies, but "going short" is selling something you don't have. Buying put options isn't short selling, although both are anticipating a decrease in the value of something.

Underwater is the term for a contract or asset that is worth less than its notional value.

Thanks for the clarification. I used "short" in quotes as that was the article terminology.
