buffet momentum

The lack of self-restraint one experiences after having started eating at a buffet. This phenomenon causes a person to consume above and beyond what comprises a regularly sized meal. This feeling usually occurs in the first fifteen minutes of the buffet and is further perpetuated by:

a) remembering something delicious that you saw earlier and didn't have room on your plate for

b) wanting more of something you just tried

c) the desire to make the price you paid worthwhile

d) the need to illustrate to your friends that your stomach is indeed a bottomless pit.

"Wow, I just consumed three plates of food. Maybe we should wait a while before hitting up the dessert table."

"I disagree. In about 10 minutes my stomach is going to realize that it's full, so I think I'll just make use of the buffet momentum that I've developed and get dessert right now."

buffet drinking

When an individual is out drinking and chooses to change his or her drink each time a new round is ordered, thus rarely drinking the same thing twice during a multi-drink night.

Tim was buffet drinking last night at the bar, he went from a Bud Light to a dirty gin martini to a Guinness to a vodka soda and then a scotch on the rocks.

buffet buster

Overly gluttonous folks attending a buffet. Buffets are geared to make money on you, unless you are a buffet buster. Often times busters stay in the buffet for long hours (across brunch/dinner/supper) to stretch their dollar and waistband. Busters plan to hit the casino for the buffet only.

Dude look at that buffet buster. He's back up in the prime rib line again!

I saw that buster eating the brunch buffet and he's still there and it's 6pm!

Buffet Queen

Usually a larger robuste woman wearing plaid and elastic waist pants, that truly enjoys buffets. Visiting cheap buffets 3-4 times a week, often calling in advance to reserve a table up close for less walking. Staff know her by name. Buffet Queens look at eating as a technique.
