buffer monster

When loading a video on the Internet, this is the figurative monster that prevents you from seeing the entire video as one smooth video. This occurs when your progress in a video "catches up" with the part not yet loaded/buffered and the video is prevented from progressing until the next part loads/buffers.

Usually, the buffer monster gets you when you least expect it to or at the most inconvenient time of the video. Most common forms include the spinning circles, the "dot-dot-dot," and the growing and/or glowing bars. (Note: the buffer monster can also sometimes be invisible.)

To avoid the buffer monster:
1. Let the entire video load before pushing play.
2. Get a faster computer and/or internet connection.

"This next part of the video is amaz--dammit! It's still loading."
"Haha, yeah...the buffer monster got you!"
"Shut up, Todd."

Cock Buffer

Someone who buffs cock, cleaning every inch of it with their mouth. Not unlike buffing a dirty car.

"I hate that son of a bitch Mike, he is such a cock buffer"

Buffer Face

Buffer Face is the funny awkward facial shot of a person you see when a online video loads, then stops to buffer.

Oh jeez, this chick looked really hot at the start of the video, but look at her Buffer Face man, it's all botox

buffer sex

The first person you have sex with after a long term relationship in preparation for the person you really want to have sex with.

I wanted to have sex with Jimmy after I broke up with Tom, so I had buffer sex with Matt.
