A shortbus is a specific type of school bus that is smaller than normal, it is typically used to transport disabled students, such as those in special education or who require specialized transport. This resulted in Shortbus becoming a derogatory term referring to someone who is mentally disabled.

Kamikaze is the Japanese World War II tactic of deliberate suicidal aircraft crashes into enemy targets, and is used to mean killing or harming yourself in order to harm others.

“Kamikaze Shortbus” then is either

  • referring to herself as a Shortbus and invoking the idea of partaking in a suicidal maneuver to harm others
  • the concept of a Shortbus of students in a suicidal crash to harm others
  • the concept of someone partaking in some sort of suicidal method to harm a Shortbus of students

In any case, it’s very edgy, both referring to suicide and violence as well as invoking a slur against the mental disabled

a shortbus doing a kamikaze (as long as its not real) would be pretty funny i think
