I was reading the local newspaper and I am trying to understand few slangs I read.
Here's what I read.
"From my point of view, the students have all got something out of the project. They are learning something new and that gives me a buzz."
Q1: What's meant by 'gives me a buzz'? Something like gives me so much happiness?
"Some of the questions were answered, but many were ducked and weaved around. It was a bit like a toothless tiger."
Q2: What's meant buy"Ducked and weaved around" and "toothless tiger"?
Thanks a lot guys.

a buzz is kind of like a happy feeling, however most people associate it with drinking or smoking (cigarettes and weed)
ducked and weaved around means they avoided directly answering the question, they would give an answer that really ignored the question asked (example: how many cookies did you eat?...I didn't eat them all.)
toothless tiger is something that made a big scene but really had no force behind it kind of like the phrase "all bark and no bite"

Yes to Q1; Q2: "ducked and weaved around" means they did a lot of double-talking. They said something, but it didn't answer the question directly. "Toothless tiger" means the answers were of no use. They were in no way related to the questions posed. Since a tiger eats only meat, of what use is he if he has no teeth? Get it? Hopes this helps.

Buzzed = happy feeling (they were proud they got through to the students and it sorta gave them a "high".
Ducked and Weaved = questions that were answered but in a very bull sh*ting way...basically avoiding a straight forward answer.
Tootless Tiger = I'm assuming this one means (along with the ducking and weaving) the students missed the point of the correct answer.

gives me a buzz, means makes me excited, and toothless tiger mean inefectual, or unable to do what it is supposed to. Ducked and weaved is like in a boxing match when the persom avoide the punches. or when someone sidesteps the real issues

gives me a buzz! --(makes me excited!)
duck and weave,--(not get to the point) or( to avoid coming to the point.)-(voiding the true issues).
toothless tiger .it would be helpfull to know what the tiger was in reference.but usually it is used to describe somthing that is (all show and no go) sorry. I answered with another slang.umm ,lets see?--(something or someone that is all talk and no action.)

a buzz in general means a good feeling.
i think this person that wrote the article is say he's glad the kids took something from the project they did together. Weather it's gaining intelligence, new friends, an understanding for something and so on. I hope I made since for you!

buzz in this context could mean happy or satisfaction
duked and weaved around means the student talked about random things not related to the question itself.

Buzz, a form of high or great feeling
ducked and weaved, avoided and failed to answer

1. "Give me a buzz when you get home" means to telephone
2. "Watching live concerts really gives me a buzz". - it makes you feel excited.
