short bus
Smaller student vehicle
A short bus is a smaller school bus used to transport students with disabilities, typically seating 10-20 passengers rather than the standard 70+.
The term has become derogatory slang suggesting intellectual disability or stupidity: riding the short bus, short-bus kid.
Calling someone or something "short bus" implies they're mentally deficient—offensive when used as an insult.
