: : Why do they use the animal buffalo,
in to be buffaloed or I was buffaloed.
: : thanks
: Just a guess:
: The
bison or buffalo is not a meek animal as it is quite threatening looking; so maybe
the term "buffaloed", which means "to intimidate", is from the animal's display
of confidence or authority.
Where might I find the beginning of the use of
the term buffaloed. Doing great so far!
Thanks again,
Murph
