[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 415663, member: 1246"] Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called "passing the buck"? A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck, from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a player did not wish to assume the responsibility, he would "pass the buck" to the next player. [/QUOTE]
