Yeah, I always hated that one because it only works because of the (incorrect) omission of punctuation. The Buffalo buffalo one doesn't need anything except the period at the end to be correct.

Consider the following:

Buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Bison*

Didn't know buffalo was a verb.

It means to bully basically. The sentence can be rewritten as "Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison."

Don't let them buffalo them into believing that tripe.

"Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo" is a tautology but still a sentence

It gets worse:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Rochester bison that Rochester bison bully bully Rochester bison

Capitalization is key for this one

Buffalo: to puzzle or baffle; confuse; mystify
