I’m aware of what “people in America” call them, having lived here for quite some time.
But teachers and park rangers hammered the difference into my skull. The “American buffalo” is a bison, though - always has been, regardless of colloquialisms.

No matter how pedantic teachers and rangers act doesn’t give them ownership of the language.
If lots of Americans call them that then it’s a legitimate name for the species.
I hope we come in with a more sensible car next week, like a Volvo. Lots of safety features.

Science begs to differ, but whatever.
People also may think that a horned toad is a toad, but that doesn’t make it so.
And the Steve Miller Band never sang “wrapped up like a douche,” but you know…
How could anyone confuse Steve Miller with Manfred Mann?

That’s the Buggy Beauties. Why would I have anything to do with that?
It’s been a feature at UH games for over 60 years. Why is that surprising to you since you refer to yourself as Frontiersmen?

Why does this remind me of the stories of fine dining at a 7-11 in Dallas during a Cotton Bowl weekend?

It’s a Houston thing and better than a small horse crapping on the 50 yard line.
