It has been discussed in literature in various forms since 1967, when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought.The sentence employs three distinct meanings of the word buffalo:as a proper noun to refer to a specific place named Buffalo, the city of Buffalo, New York, being the most notable;as a verb (uncommon in regular usage) to buffalo, meaning "to bully, harass, or intimidate" or "to baffle"; andas a noun to refer to the animal, bison (often called buffalo in North America). The plural is also buffalo.An expanded form of the sentence which preserves the original word order is: "Buffalo bison, that other Buffalo bison bully, also bully Buffalo bison."[ATTACH=full]88099[/ATTACH] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo" target="_blank">More info</a></blockquote>
