An example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity

When they say buffalo
I say buffalo buffalo

When they say buffalo buffalo buffalo
I say buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo

Do you see

It's perfectly legitimate
Call off your lawyers

When they say buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
Guess what
I say buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo

Wait, don't go, there's more
Of course there is

When they say buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo
I say, actually, I think you'll find
*ugh I am shot*

Splutters: What I intended to say
before my inevitable demise
was Actually what you meant to say
correctly and properly capitalized
even in conversation which
it clearly wasn't and which enraged you
enough to shoot me
a mild inconvenience, to wit:

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"
is the grammatically correct English sentence which plays
on the multiple meanings of the word "buffalo"

Now I haven't got time to explain
google it you losers, & don't bother to
call an ambulance, for I am
within touching distance of
my final breath
merely for pointing -


Buffalo x7
