3. well, what's the context you've seen it used in?

7. I saw it today, but I'm damned if I recall just how!

[Danger Mouse]

8. hmmm, okay, usually when i've seen it i've seen it as 'he/she takes the shortbus'

as in 'he/she is retarded'

4. It's a reference to the short school busses that special ed students take (took?) to school.

5. i work in special ed, and they still use shortbusses.

but, more for a matter of convenience than anything else.
