Dude, Crissy from accounting is going to be at the bar tonight. I think she likes me, but I'm not sure if I'm into her. Can go with me as my buffer in case she turns out to be a psycho?

Word often used by Irish Travellers to identify someone from the settled community. Travellers traditionally used "country people" but as most Travellers are now living in towns and citys its a bit outdated. Buffer is not an offensive word, but is Traveller slang so you wont find many older Travellers using it.
My fathers a Traveller but my mothers a Buffer

A towering demented mammal-amphibian, native to but not limited to Australia (found on all 8 continents), having four legs, one of which shaped like a cage, the others of which shaped like sasquatch hands, but contrary to walking on all four legs it staggers on one leg in somewhat of peg-leg motion. It has a dirty beard, a snout like a vicious anteater, but yet eats no ants, a tail in the middle of its stomach where most would assume a belly-button would be, a tentacle riddled orifice that is capable of dismantling an elephant in .2 seconds flat. The skin of the buffer has a slimy texture that it sheds every other blue moon, but the reason it is classified as a mammal-amphibian is because it has the very hairy and dirty beard and scientists decided to classify as the first of the fusion class of the two species. It is a shade of blue. It is most prominently found in underwater caves but is also found on land in moist areas. The buffer is capable if ever feeling threatened it can project poisonous darts, but it is rarely threatened.

The chick(s) who sucks the porn stars' dicks in between scenes to keep them hard (rarely the same person who sucks his dick on-scene).
Many porn flicks displays scenes of animalistic sex for up to 45-60 minutes. Do you really think the girl (or guy) can last that long? They actually take a lot of breaks, with several girls coming from behind scene to keep the guy aroused. These are the buffers.
