Other sentences that make sense

Smelt smelt smelt smelt smelt.

Smelt that smells other smelt smells smelt that smelt another smelt.

People people people people people.

People populate other people who in turn also populate people.

Police police police police police.

Crooked cops are keeping order in a game of police cat and mouse.

Aardvark aardvark aardvark aardvark aardvark.

This one only works if, like me, you believe that aardvark is a verb.

GRAMMAR!

This picture is actually a sentence


Think about it.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. Car.
Complete sentence... grammar is incredible. But mostly only with the word buffalo.

Fish

Here's another sentence that works:

Fish fish fish fish fish.

Makes sense.

It's legit. It's saying that the fish that fish fish actualy fish other fish. Now that's a weird fucking sentence, I don't know what fish fishes other fish but is simultaneously being fished by other fish... do they wear fishing boots and hats? I think not.

BUT LOGIC DOESN'T MATTER IN THIS BLOG! ONLY GRAMMAR!

The original sentence

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

That's a sentence. THAT IS A LEGIT SENTENCE! I know that Microsoft word would be all like, "Nah man that's not a sentence I'm gonna put a fucking wavy green line under it" but Word would be wrong in this case. Because this is a sentence. Look:

Totally legit. This is incredible, and it has been blowing my freaking mind all day. ANY NUMBER OF BUFFALOS NEXT TO EACH OTHER MAKES A LEGIT SENTENCE!

What other words could this work for? I don't know. Let's explore.
