I'd recommend rephrasing this a little bit to start with the literal term then with the colloquial one. The excerpt tends to be character-restricted (I can't recall how many rn).
avoid: commonly refers to a smaller school bus; colloquially: a derogatory term insult against or at the expense of people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (I/DD).

| "Short bus" is a derogatory and ableist term for a [Type A or B school bus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_bus#Types). While these school bus types are used to transport smaller groups of students to school or related activities, they may also be used to transport students with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). The term is a derogatory shorthand for [the r-word](/r-word/). | ||

Origins
While these school bus types are used to transport smaller groups of students to school or related activities, they may also be used to provide accessible transportation to students with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). The term became synonymous with mocking students with I/DD. It is also often used to imply ignorance, lack of understanding, or clumsiness (often in self-deprecation about the person using it).

@malchata I know it's a hard habit to break but you don't owe me any apologies! I appreciate your contribution immensely! I gave you a LOT of suggested changes—please feel free to accept/reject as makes sense to you. Most of it is preferential (in order to maintain a somewhat consistent approach between entries). A few common patterns:
Otherwise this was such a well thought-out entry! I think with one more pass (if you're able/willing) we'd be able to get this launched! |

@malchata I think this mostly looks good to me! I'm curious if you intentionally omitted this suggestion or if it was missed? I don't feel strongly about it either way! |
Apologies for the long wait on the PR. It adds the definition for the ableist term "short bus" as proposed in issue #433. It also opportunistically removes an unnecessary
crossoriginattribute on therel=preload<link>elements in the header.
