Did you know you can "Google" just about anything? I do that frequently.

Today, after a song kept going around in my head, I decided to Google "Buffalo Gals". The original 'buffalo gals' were dancers at saloons, dance halls, and brothels. Apparently, from what I found, this song was often sung by minstrels in blackface. It became a popular folk song in the mid 1900's.  

However, a more modern 'urban dictionary' claims  that a Buffalo Gal is a skier/snowboarder who doesn't get off the ski lift at the top & has to go 'around' for another chance.  It made me wonder why they chose that term, obviously having 'heard' the term from the past. 

Anyway, as I said...you can learn a lot just by "Googling" anything!
