A buffer guest is a close friend that you invite to a party ten or 15 minutes before the rest of the guests are scheduled to arrive. This guest or group of guests is meant to 1) make it seem like the party has already begun and good times are to be had and 2) make it less awkward in case someone you don't know particularly well arrives before everyone else.
I invited Jona over as a buffer guest in case Tim or Josh came over early, because I don't really have a lot in common with them

The requisite one urinal minimum you put between you and any other men who may be pissing at a row of urinals. It's a courtesy thing, and it's about proximity more than line of sight: shame shields don't obviate the need for a buffer urinal.
Of course, when you're in a situation where the buffer is impossible because there are more men than there are urinals (sporting events, concerts, etc.), the buffer urinal no longer applies.

Marie was crushing on Rob hard but, fortunately, she had quite a few buffer boys she had met on Snatch.com, as well as the mystery man she met at the market last night.
