Lets see...
1. I don't trust wikipedia. It's often incorrect. I was told by an instructor not to use it as a reference.
Some things in it are correct if you know the subject (there's something on an uncle and grandfather in it written by some source with whom I'm familiar).
2. Where are the subject and predicate here?
3. What the heck is it saying?

There is no "you or I understood" anywhere close to here, so that wipes out that thought.

Great. Whoever decided that was a sentence had been on too many trips... and I don't mean abroad.

I was not familiar with "buffalo" being used in the sense of to bully, only in the sense of obstruction, confusion.

There is some question as to whether bison were still wandering in that area when the white man arrived as it was wooded countryside not the usual bison habitat. One theory is that Buffalo is a bastardized version of the French "belle fleuve" (beautiful river) which early explorers may have given to the present-day Buffalo Creek.

This I heard in Buffalo as a wee child on me granny's knee.

This would kind of put buffaloing up the creek.
