#h means a hidden buffer, which is the alternate buffer (i.e. usually
the last buffer you edited before the current one).

Try :bw! instead of :bd! and see if there is a difference. But beware!
:bw forgets *everything* that Vim has in memory concerning that buffer.

FIGHTING WORDS

Say my love is easy had,
Say I'm bitten raw with pride,
Say I am too often sad --
Still behold me at your side.

Say I'm neither brave nor young,
Say I woo and coddle care,
Say the devil touched my tongue --
Still you have my heart to wear.

But say my verses do not scan,
And I get me another man!
