Devices that make a buzzing sound, or people who buzz; often used in game shows or sports to signal answers or fouls.
From the verb 'buzz,' which comes from the Middle English 'busen,' imitating the sound a bee makes. The suffix '-er' creates the agent noun, and '-s' makes it plural.
The buzzer became iconic in American game shows like 'Family Feud' and 'Jeopardy'—teams learned that timing your buzz perfectly was as important as knowing the answer, creating a whole new competitive skill.
