MB refers to the "bottom" of a drop...

... and means that a stock keeps dropping from the beginning of session and your "market" short order gets executable on the next uptick.

I experienced that one time with FP. It dropped 4 or 5 points without uptick, so little was the buying interest.

For a reading on what can happen with shorting at the bottom consider S. Goldman's text:
