Pass The Buck
From what my great-uncle has told me, the buck in "pass the buck" was originally a buckknife. When people played cards, they passed the buck to whoever is dealing. That way, they new whose turn it was to deal. They later decided that a knife was too dangerous. As a substitute, they began to use a silver dollar. It became known as a buck. Therefore, pass the buck. I can't verify this story, but this is what I've heard and it makes sense. Anyway, you can put that on the site if you'd like. I just thought I'd share my little tidbit of information.
