Buffering
含义: When media is loading slowly, causing pauses during playback, or a person who is mentally processing something slowly.
The spinning wheel of buffering is a universal American frustration. Technically, it means the video or audio is loading data before it can play. Culturally, 'buffering' has become a humorous way to describe someone who's processing information slowly — staring blankly, taking too long to respond, or not following a conversation.
