Someone referred to me derogatorily as Shortbus in college once when I was a pledge in my fraternity because I said something stupid or asked a stupid question or something. I heard it a few times after that and the first time I needed a screen name on the internet that's what popped into my head I guess...
I've been considering changing it to just my name because some people might take offense to it. I never really looked at it as a negative term like some people do. I'm a nurse by trade and used to work with mentally challenged people on a regular basis so I don't really enjoy the possibility of the negative connotation, even though that is how I got the name in the first place...
