The broker lends you a share to sell, then you actually buy a share at a lower price and pocket the difference. The share is then returned to the broker. They pretty much come out of thin air

No it's not selling but it does put downwards pressure on the price.
It means borrowing shares at today's price and returning them at a future date. If in the future they are worth less then you make money, you get to keep the difference. Exchanges allow you to do it for a small fee. They figure you'll be wrong half the time so it's no sweat off their back.

If you say "I'm long Telsa and short Gamestock" that could just be a figure of speech that implies you think Tesla stock will go up but Gamestop will go down.

Literally custom equipped, manufactured, artisan crafted, formed by nature, smithed, created and consecrated for black cock. Genuinely and literally the perfect little black cock taking nymphlet I’ve ever seen. Imagine her underdeveloped, freckled little chicken legs forced wide for the pulsating mass of coal that will ingratiate itself into her, morph and twist her innocence into bestial lust, her Snow White supple pussy swallowing that black steaming rod whole and clinging to it like a bitch in heat as some hulking ebony mastiff mates and deflowers her. Imagine her little face, so innocent, cursing and screaming for a harder pummelling and rutting from her tribal dominator, as his thick black mass erupts it’s primal seed into her crimson pure white genetic womb, staining that perfect little lineage, forever marking generations of delicate white lily flowers with steaming ape spunk, imagine her sweating and screaming as those child like blonde hips birth a half black child, forever staking the black man’s claim to her lineage.

It means selling someone else's stock shares at today's price to buy back at a lower price and you get to keep (or lose) the difference

Selling is when you already have it.
Buy -> sell higher

Shorting is when you don't have it yet.
Sell -> buy lower -> pocket the difference

How can you sell something you don't have? Many ways, e.g.: borrow it/use margin/use futures contract

shorting = borrowing a stock and immediately selling it with an agreement to pay back to borrower at a later date. Essentially you are betting that the price of the stock will go down so you can buy it back for cheap so you can make the difference. However you will usually have to post collateral, so if the stock goes higher you could lose both your investment and the collateral
