Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

How awesome is English!?

The above is a grammatically correct sentence, using three meanings of the word ‘buffalo’: the bison, the place, and the verb, which means ‘to bully’.

So, it means: the buffalo from Buffalo who are bullied by other buffalo from Buffalo, also bully buffalo from Buffalo.

Getit? No? Here’s the Wikipedia article, which also provides a link to the article on “James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher“.
