A term used typically to describe a team of people consisting of fewer than the usual number attributed to that group. It can be applied to any similar situation.
Derived largely from the hockey world where players sit on a "bench" when not playing (see benched) and occasionally field a team with fewer teammates than ideally necessary, either due to players not showing up for the game or by the coach's decision.

Even though our playoff finals were on a holiday weekend, we won our championship game despite the short bench.
Other:
Due to the last long weekend, we have a short bench at our beach house this coming weekend.

Get the short benchmug. Filipino slang for short shorts or daisy dukes. The word "pekpek" (which means vagina in Filipino) is put alongside the word "shorts" since these tight-fitting shorts often cause the appearance of camel toe.
guy 1: "check out the chick wearing pekpek shorts!"
guy 2: "I can see her camel toe from here! lol!"

Get the short stackmug. A male bathing suit that resembles a pair of shorts. The main diffrence is that the inside netting has been taken away so you have to wear boxers underneath. Because of this, you can wear board shorts of long periods of time without swimming in them like shorts and they won't be uncomfertable. Board shorts were invented for surfers who would spend alot of time on the beach without getting wet so their bathing suit would ride up and hurt like a bitch. Board shorts were made and named after the surfer's board

Get the board shortsmug. Early 80s style short pants which over-exentuate the male member... Worn usually by guys who think they are hot shit with the ladies, but are dealing with homosexual feelings. The wearer is usually dreadfully repulsive to members of both sexes and can only find love in the bathrooms of expressway rest stops.
Tom thought his dick shorts showed off his package, but in actuality, showed the world what a tool he was.

Get the dick shortsmug. A massive orgy in which each male has his penis in the man in front of him creating a 'train' of gay sex. Derives from common acts followed by the Ezekiel Short
Andrew: Gosh, my hand is cramped from last night's Short Train!
Wilson: At least your penis isn't covered in toxic fingerpaint, that Ezekiel Short got way out of hand and into my rectum last night!

Get the Short Trainmug. After turning in your resignation, you end up not giving a damn about your job during the remaining two weeks notice you gave them
Sure, I'm leaving and gave two weeks notice, but I REALLY want it to be over NOW. I have short timer disease
