Buffet
Help yourself meal
Buffet names two different words.
One (stress on the second syllable) is a meal where dishes are laid out for guests to serve themselves, or the sideboard or counter holding such food: The hotel offers a breakfast buffet.
The other (stress on the first syllable) means to strike repeatedly or be struck by forces: Winds buffeted the small boat.
Waves, criticism, and fate all buffet.
