What an awesome expression! I know two meanings for beef bus, according to the urban dictionary it is a cock (it actually says penis) and it illustrates the meaning with an example: "Parking the Beef Bus in Tuna Town". But the meaning that made me ROFL is bus of beef, taken literally, well... not that much. Don't think of a bus made of beef.
Think of a huge guy, like a human mountain and you'll get it.
While watching a tv series called Dexter (not Dexter's Lab, XD) which is about a killer, one of the characters (Deb, Dexter's sis) exclaimed that expression when she saw a guy named little chino.
This is the poster of the show, I recommend it, despite it is about a killer, the argument is very interesting.
This is a screen shot of the fucking beef bus. Googleing for this expression, I found a web page where they analyzed this episode, look what they tell about the expression I'm thinking of:
“Seriously, though, I can't even accurately describe how mastodonic this guy is.
'Beef bus' is really the best description. He is a bus made out of beef.”
This is an example of the reasons for which I like the English language, its versatility. It's amazingly easy to express quite accurately your feelings or thoughts by using known expressions or inventing new ones.
The easiness is, of course, related with the personal facility for expressing ideas, but this is off the topic, we'll have time to think about thinking.
