Ok, here's a pronunciation slide that I could easily look up but I trust FreeQs more than Miriam-Webster.
"Buffeting" - which is it..
Buffet as in "Jimmy Buffet"
or, Buffet like you find at the Golden Corral?
Very important question.
Buffet like Jimmy Buffet. My house was buffeted by a thunderstorm last night. Now it’s cold but at least the wind died down.
back in the day, we were looking for a name for a new colt born on our farm. We had been toying with names from Jimmy Buffett songs, but all were already taken (or just too stupid to take seriously). My Dad, who was an airline pilot, tossed up the idea “Buffet Boundary,” which is a technical flying reference, and so that was the name we sent to the registry. Plus, we got to call him Buffett for his stable name.
OK, you got me⬅❗ 🤷♂️ I admit that I hesitated to use the term and questioned the spelling. But it is so common a term that I just decided to go with it and d**n the torpedoes, full speed ahead! As an amateur linguist I realize that language is always evolving and nuts to the dictionaries - we no longer speak Anglo Saxon ❌ ... I didn't want to do a linguistic search for the term so I just posted it - 💥😂
