I'm guessing - without googling - I'd say blown at - like buffeted by the storm.
Doesn't it mean attending a Jimmy Buffet concert?
-Flavius
Hmmmm. I wonder, perhaps buffet can also be a verb in French.
Miriam Webster says:
Main Entry: buffet
Function: verb
Date: 13th century
transitive verb
1 : to strike sharply especially with the hand : cuff
2 : to strike repeatedly : batter
3 : to drive, force, move, or attack by or as if by repeated blows
intransitive verb : to make one's way especially under difficult conditions
I hate to admit this, but I had to look it up! I never use buffet as a verb, only as a delicious noun!
How 'bout using it in a sentence?
I buffeted my way in line at the buffet today at the Dragon's View restaurant.
(Does that work?)
Buffeted - to restore shine to "grizzly" stuffed animals. ;)
In the old days, you'd buffet him about the ears for this answer.
Oh, well. Literacy is overrated these days. The real question is, how are his coding skills?
How funny! I will never think of buffeted only in the same sentence as 'storm' ever, again.
I was in the dairy aisle yesterday and overheard a man talking on his cell phone, 'No, there's no Yoplait brand left, just Dannon.' 'Yoplait' sounded like Yoeplatt -North Platte, Nebraska, and 'Dannon' sounded like Dannoe, -I dunno.
I was so busy imagining a conversation, 'Pinnott, sil vou platt' that I nearly missed a cue to hand over a 25 cent off coupon at the check-out.
Makes perfect sense.
