short bus

Share definition
The idea of 'riding the short bus' is used in American English in much the same way that 'æåëòûé äîì' (yellow house) is used in Russian as a reference to mentally retarded children. United States public school systems have an extensive bus program to transport children to and from school. Regular buses hold large amounts of children. Shorter buses are typically used for "Special Education" (i.e., the mentally retarded) public school students who are typically educated in different facilities.
Oh don't mind Jimmy here being late - Marina and I took a cab, but Jimmy's a little slow so he had to wait for the short bus.

short bench

Share definition
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.
Hockey:
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.

An extremely cheap person. A miser. One who never wants to pay his own way.

He’s the most amazing boy you’ll ever meet, He’s sweet & kind, and always so freaking cool! he won’t believe you when you say that but everyone knows it’s true! he’ll become the most awesome person you’ve ever met and you’ll never want a replacement, Ever. He is so intriguing & mysterious even after months of being friends there will still be new things you find out about him that you never would’ve guessed. Tommy is always so good about everything & he always understands, there is no way you’ll ever be able to hate him (he’s never done anything wrong). When you see him your jaw will drop and you won’t be able to stop smiling, Tommy is drop-dead gorgeous & even your friends will find him attractive. His eyes are the blue-ist shade of blue, he’s taller than you but only by a bit! his hair is nonexistent but that’s fine you love him anyway, you’ll fall in love with his laugh! it’ll always immediately makes you happy whenever you hear it. His laugh is contagious if Tommy starts laughing you’ll be laughing with him in a matter of seconds, and do not get me started on that god-damned smile! he is so beautiful and you’ll wish you knew him sooner.
