buffalo
Prairie herd animal
A buffalo is a large bovine mammal—either the Asian water buffalo, domesticated for agriculture, or the African Cape buffalo, a wild and dangerous animal.
Americans often call the American bison a buffalo, though this is technically imprecise.
The verb means to intimidate or bewilder: Don't let them buffalo you into signing.
