The hardest question about Buffalo, New York

Western New York was mentioned on a popular game show this week, but the majority of people who live here would have been wrong.

It’s always a cool moment when you’re watching TV and hear someone talking about your hometown. It happened again this week on Jeopardy, but a lot of people in Western New York would have missed this one.

This week on Jeopardy they asked another question about the City of Good Neighbors, but it caught a lot of people off guard. To be honest, a lot of us were stuck.

Tons of responses filled Facebook timelines and Instagram feeds after the show, but only a few of them were correct.

Here’s the question: it’s an animal…it’s a city in the northeast…it’s a verb meaning to intimidate. What is this?

It’s tricky, isn’t it? It almost reminds me of the math word problems you find in your school textbook.

The answer was simply BUFFALO…and looking back, that makes sense, right? Considering that this was a question about Western New York….

Luckily the candidate guessed correctly, because I’m here thinking that if you Buffalo someone, you deceive them or deceive them… who knew that meant “intimidate?” »
