But when the adverts buffer

Normie Buffer

When a cultural marker, identity, or practice of a subculture is in a buffer which then reaches the mainstream and is adopted by normies, despite their initial misunderstanding.

This typically takes 2 to 4 years although appears to be getting quicker.

Now that skinny jeans, beards, tattoos and craft beers have been through the Normie Buffer, they're no longer associated with the subcultures that normalized them.

Buffer-ring

That stupid ring you get when something loads. It doesn’t tell any information on how long left to load and because of this, everyone hates it

Person 1: Oh My God, just downloaded PubG and got a stupid buffer-ring

Person 2: ugh, IKR, those things are the worst

Book Buffer

The number of books you have queued to read someday.

Dave: Have you read Freakonomics? It's awesome. I'll lend it to you if you fancy
Arnold: Not yet; I've got quite a few books queued up at the moment, but if it's as good as you say, maybe it can skip the book buffer.
