Rfv-sense verb "(US, slang, vulgar) Being or acting stupid, dumb, or slow." &mdash; surjection &lang;??&rang; 12:01, 6 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hey, I added verification for these. Please let me know what else I can do. Senbesey (talk) 00:13, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Also rfv-sense the adjective: intoxicated; inebriated. "We got totally short bus at the bar last night." Equinox ◑ 00:01, 7 June 2021 (UTC)


 * This concept is something I have known to exist all my life. It is a vulgar, offensive, and derogatory, and will much rely on such sources. I will continue to provide further evidence & documentation, but do you have any additional advice here? Thanks!

 * I will add more. It clearly meets the widespread use criteria. Senbesey (talk) 01:29, 8 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I added a couple other book cites for the "stupid" sense (which also seemed to have been untagged), bringing the total to three, although one uses it as part of someone's nickname. I didn't spot any examples of the "intoxicated" sense or the verb in durably archived media. - -sche (discuss) 15:14, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Adjective ux
That ux to me reads more like an attributive use of the noun "a short-bus kid". Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense: "Dave is not bright so he probably was not bright when he was a kid"? Not something one would say really. . Fytcha (talk) 23:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)


 * I think this is specifically a US term. Not the same bus stuff in Britain. See gloss! Equinox ◑ 01:13, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * My bad, I somehow thought you were the one who provided the ux. Turns out it was User:Senbesey. Fytcha (talk) 01:17, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
