short position
(FINANCE) a situation in which an investor owns financial instruments (shares, bonds, financial derivatives, etc.) that will make the most money IF some other thing declines in value.
Therefore, one always has to take a short position on something in particular. A short position on gold means the investor expects gold to decline in value in the near future, and has bought various things to make money if it does.
Some ways to take a short position on X include:
(1) buying a put option on X
(2) writing a call option on X
(3) borrowing X and selling it (shorting a stock)
#3 is the classical way to take a short position. It was dangerous because a skillful trader could squeeze the shorts using a corner.

BILL: I guess you took a bath when the stock market tanked, huh?
ANA: Nope. I took a short position on all of the nine largest banks. Did rather well, thank you very much.
BIL: Sweet!

Short Ram Intake
An easy engine modification which connects to the throttle body and boosts performance. Called a SRI because of its short piping and the air filter resides next to the engine, easily noticeable inside the engine bay. A Short Ram Intake works by drawing in a larger volume of air (from the engine bay) and sending it forcefully through piping (usually larger than the stock setup)and into the throttle body for combustion. Installing SRIs takes minutes. All one must do is remove their factory air box and filter assembly and replace it with the after-market system.
-On the negative side, SRI's sit next to the engine bay, which builds up heat after running. The air filter will draw in warm air which is less combustible than cold. Any even in some cases, SRIs can match the performance of your factory setup if taking in to much hot air. This is where CAIs come in.
-On the positive side, SRIs provide better throttle response than a CAI and even develop more torque. Since the filter is sitting where the engine is, one won't have to worry about water getting into the intake and destroying their engine. Also SRIs produce an pleasing and sweet sounding induction sound that sounds very aggressive.
SRIs are a good choice for people not wanting to spend more on a CAI system, since is it good on the $$, and relatively, they produce around the same as a CAI but they lose their power throughout the higher powerband, where the CAI unleashes it's.

My friends Madza MX-6 has a cold air intake, while my car as a Short Ram Intake, because my car needs the torque. I also argue how sometimes my SRI is better than his CAI

Dan: "I was talking to Jeff and he told me he was deciding whether or not to move in with his girlfriend."
Craig: "Well, we all know Jeff has commitment issues. But just for fun... what did he decide?"
Dan: "What do you think? He decided not to."
Craig: "Oh Dan. He's such a short-sleeved magician."

short busser
A term that is commonly used by college professors to refer to students that get (by law) 50% more time on tests because of a "learning disability". The disability is typically related to test anxiety.
The term derives its meaning from the fact that disabled students in the public school system often ride to (and from) school in a bus that is about half the length of a typical school bus.

Professor 1: How many short bussers do you have in your class this semester?
Professor 2: I'm not sure, but can you tell me how the fuck those retards get into college at all?
Professor 1: Yeah, fuck the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)!
