Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.
Sounds like gibberish, but it's actually a fully complete and gramatically correct sentence.
Think about buffalo as three separate words:
1. buffalo - singular version of the animal as we know it.
2. to buffalo - to deceive, to intimidate, to hoodwink.
3. buffalo - alternative plural of the singular noun buffalo. Buffaloes is also acceptable.
So take the sentence: "Buffaloes that buffaloes intimidate will in turn intimdate buffaloes."
It then becomes "Buffaloes that buffaloes buffalo will in turn buffalo buffaloes."
Then: "Buffalo that buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo."
And finally, getting rid of "that" as unnecessary: "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo."
And now, after typing that, the word "buffalo" looks weird to me.
