Default Where did the term "Buffalo Chicken" come from?

I looked at one site and was surprised to see that Buffalo had so little
snow, but then I realized that it was for this year, which has seen an
exceptionally mild winter. I live about 25 miles from Buffalo and we
have had exceptionally warm weather. There has been lots of rain, and
usually in January and February the precipitation would be snow.
I found a site with average snowfalls and Buffalo is right up near the
top of the list, right behind Rochester.

I used to work in Fort Erie right across the river from Buffalo and it
is a snow belt. I was amazed by the way the snow dumped close to the
lake. One year we had a heavy snow fall. There was 4 feet of snow by the
lake. A mile north of there it was 3 and each half mile there was almost
a foot less. Two miles from the lake the snow was only about 6 inches.

A couple years ago I had to call tech support. The guy had such a thick
accent I could hardly understand him. I was looking all over the
monitor for the Castle icon. I asked him many times to clarify it
because I couldn't see any damned castles. I eventually realized he was
saying Cancel.

Are you a stranger where you live? Do you drop the "r"s or pronounce
them? (Gahdn State Fahm Mahkt?)

I once rented a car in Charlotte, NC. The attendant asked me where I
was staying locally. I said "the Tar Heel motel"; she wrote down "Tire
Hill Motel." (Counting the spare, each car needs five "tars.")
