Do as the buffalo

It's what can be said when you have nothing else to say in a conversation, but you still want to leave on a good note.

Also can be used when someone continually asks you for advice.

It's simply a way to get out of a conversation. The real secret is to walk away once you say it.

To legitimize it a bit more, add "As they say" or "Like they say" to the front of the saying to add more value. It'll make them think that it's not just you saying it.

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."
