<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 8161086, member: 51347&quot;]I remember living as an Expat in the UK, and I used the term &quot;a buck&quot; for a dollar when we were talking values of items.&nbsp; My Team chuckled about it, and actually really liked the term and how it easily rolled off Americans&#039; tongues.&nbsp; Similar to their &quot;Quid&quot; for a Pound (from &quot;Quid quo pro&quot;)</p><p><br /></p><p>YET, a BUCK is from the time when we had X&#039;s for TEN on our currency.&nbsp; Those X&#039;s looked like SAWBUCKS to cut wood, and were shortened to Buck.&nbsp; However, it was from TEN dollar or TWENTY dollar notes, but now the term &quot;BUCK&quot; has moved to meaning one dollar.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The language quickly changes when spoken and oral![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
