    How about this one? “James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher.”

        Yeah, I always hated that one because it only works because of the (incorrect) omission of punctuation. The Buffalo buffalo one doesn’t need anything except the period at the end to be correct.

    It gets worse:

    Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

    Rochester bison that Rochester bison bully bully Rochester bison

    Capitalization is key for this one

      It means to bully basically. The sentence can be rewritten as “Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison.”

    “Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo” is a tautology but still a sentence
