Of 'Being Buffaloed'

When I lived in Cleveland, the 'ol guy across the street raised buffalo.  So, when my seeester came to visit, I said, "Hey.  Let's go see the buffalo."

Now, I've heard the saying, "You've been buffaloed!"  I kinda picked up that it meant you'd been had or freaked into backing off.  Turns out... I was right!

So, seeester and I stand along the split-rail fence in awe of their size when, all of a sudden, several of these 7'-at-the-shoulder-thousand-pound beings come running towards us.  Us.  Fast.  Teeny-weeny split-rail fence.

Two feet before running over two screaming seeesters, they put on the brakes and came to a complete stop, looked at us, and strolled away.

I hate old sayings.
