Yeah, I always hated that one because it only works because of the (incorrect) omission of punctuation. The Buffalo buffalo one doesn’t need anything except the period at the end to be correct.

It means to bully basically. The sentence can be rewritten as “Buffalonian bison that other Buffalonian bison bully also bully Buffalonian bison.”
