Buffalo

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a grammatically correct sentence. It took me a while to figure it out, even with the explanation on the wiki page, but it’s true. Who knew? :)

The word buffalo can mean a city in the state New York (c), an animal (a) or the verb “bully/intimidate” (v). Thus the sentence goes:

Buffalo(c) buffalo(a) Buffalo(c) buffalo(a) buffalo(v) buffalo(v) Buffalo(c) buffalo(a).

Or, when you substitute the animal (a) with “people” and the verb (v) with “intimidate”:

Buffalo people [that] Buffalo people intimidate [also happen to] intimidate Buffalo people.

But that’s enough Buffalo for one day ;)
