The term used in the gay community to describe a boy or man (often teenage or young adult) who dresses up as a girl, frequently appearing in public or posting online pictures of themselves dressed as a female.

Unlike real transsexuals, and unlike drag queens, buffalos do not dress up for comic effect or from real belief they should be a girl. The exact reason varies with the person, but it tends to be from a mistaken belief that to be beautiful one must emulate "classical beauty", i.e. femininity.

Buffalos therefore often have deep self-image issues which manifest as dressing as something "beautiful", often coupled with a facade of overconfidence or swagger. Buffalos crave the attention given to their new "beautiful" appearance.

The term "buffalo"is derived from "Buffalo Bill", the tortured character in the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" who famously dresses up as a woman while saying "would you do me? I'd do me".

Screaming Buffalo 

A Screaming Buffalo is when one intentionally consumes far too many chicken wings (prepared Buffalo style) which are hot to the touch due to the amount of heat they produce via the sauce. Once the wings are consumed, it takes roughly 30 minutes for the explosion to begin. After shitting your brains out for the first 30 seconds, an extreme burning sensation completely consumes every nerve ending in your anal cavity region. Your only relief is to have a tub of ice water next to your commode to cool your ass and scream while your balls are being chilled like a warm beer.
I ate so many hot wings last night, I sounded like a Screaming Buffalo that just got shot on the prairie.
