selling you short 

a finance term for when you sell a stock when you do not actually have any shares because you think the stock will go down and give you a profit (Basically you are betting against a stock). However, in terms of relationships selling someone short means you will gain by getting rid of them.

You’re Special Like A Short Bus

A sarcastic and often offensive slang phrase used to imply that someone is unintelligent, clueless, or lacking basic common sense. The expression is framed like a compliment but is actually a backhanded insult. It references special education transportation (“short buses”), which makes the phrase widely considered disrespectful. it can be used by people in a jokingly casual or edgy humor. Context and audience matter heavily, as it can easily cross the line from humor into outright insult.

“You really tried to unlock your car with your house key? Yeah… .”

“He spent 10 minutes looking for his phone while it was in his hand man’s special like a short bus.”

“You put metal in the microwave and thought it was fine? You’re special like a short bus.”

“She studied for the wrong test and blamed the teacher… special like a short bus for real.”

“Bro clicked ‘forgot password’ and then forgot the new one instantly you’re special like a short bus.”
