The term "great white buffalo" is often used metaphorically to describe a person or an opportunity that is rare, elusive, and highly sought after. It implies something or someone that carries special significance or a profound emotional connection, usually representing the "one that got away" or an unfulfilled potential.
The phrase became popularized in part through pop culture, notably its use in the 2001 movie "Hot Tub Time Machine," where characters refer to the "great white buffalo" as a symbol for an unrecapturable love or past opportunity. It can be linked to the mystical and revered status of the white buffalo in Native American cultures, where they are considered sacred and a symbol of hope and good fortune.
Despite its specific cultural portrayal, in general conversational use, calling something or someone a "great white buffalo" highlights their memorable, rare, and sometimes mythical status in one’s personal history.
