Short interest refers to number of shares (vs number of people), but you've got the idea.
I hesitate to write a lot because there's always 'well, actually' clauses that sends you down a rabbit hole(or off a cliff), but simplified it's people selling shares they don't own, with an agreement to buy them later. The hope for the short seller is that the price will be cheaper in the future.
