Buffalo Stance

The pose of standing with arms tightly folded in front of chest while wearing a trench coat or baggy sweatshirt.

It originally was the way dealers from the Black Magi Family stood on corners, with the crossed arms resting on shoulder holstered pistols. The pose looked casual to passing police, but gave the dealer a quick draw advantage in case of trouble.

The Black Mafia Family was founded in 1985, in Southwest Detroit by brothers Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory.

BMI funded many artists in Hip Hop like Run DMC and LL Cool J. Their influences even found their way to hall of fame DE Bruce Smiths sack celebration.
Don’t mess with the dude in the coat. He’s packing twin nine’s behind that Buffalo Stance.

Buffalo Stance

a catchy song by Neneh Cherry that pushes the delusion that a beautiful woman will choose a sincere man of modest means over a shallow rich man (with all other attributes being equal)
I remember that I used to listen to that song "Buffalo Stance" and think that I actually had a chance with this girl who was being pursued by a rich guy.

To stand with your arms tighly crossed looking over to side at somebody. This comes from the pose struck by Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills in the late 1980's

"Buffalo Stance" is a song by Neneh Cherry.

It inspired a unique "dance" on the television show Dance Party USA; dancers would stand absolutely still for the duration of the song.

You are all wrong. If you want to know what it really is, listen to The podcast of the 'Only Lovers Left Alive' 26/09/2009 radio show on Recharged Radio (www.rechargedradio.com).

It's a show with the writers of the song, creators of 'The Buffalo' in the late 80s, and some of 'The Ants' (Adam and the Ants) too.
