Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo.

[–] Duckman 1 points 1 year ago

I fully appreciate a sentence consisting of “Buffalo” 5 times, but I’m still lost on the 3 extra buffalo. I’m a native speaker and I don’t get how “buffalo” can mean “buffaloed by.” When is that ever done elsewhere?
