‘Carti Buffs’ is a Detroit-based slang term for Cartier sunglasses. ‘Carti’ is an abbreviation of Cartier, the luxury brand that produces the glasses while ‘Buffs’ denotes the Buffalo horn from which the arms are made.
These glasses have long been a status symbol in Detroit, and often the wearer partakes in criminal activity due to the high value of the item (can range in the thousands of dollars for a single pair). Additionally, they are a target for theft, so being able to wear the glasses in a dangerous area is a symbol of street credit & lack of fear from repercussions.

Adam is so buff, all the girls drool over him!
Then the boss casts an aoe dispel magic, dropping all our buffs -- and the next thing we know, it's a total party kill!
Since Valve buffed that Crusader's Crossbow, it actually became a somewhat viable choice!
