- The synonyms indicate a usage in dealing poker that is not reflected in the alternative definitions. Dick Kimball 16:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm... the sense was discussed Wiktionary:Requests for verification archive/July 2007#buck but kept, then deleted 13 March 2008 as RFV-failed. Odd, since it seems perfectly good. (The navy defn is very similar.) Said it would be re-listed, but I can't find that. (discussion is supposed to be copied here when closed!) Robert Ullmann 16:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- The definition of "pass the buck," linked on this page, seems to explain the poker meaning of buck quite well. Dick Kimball 16:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Verb[edit]
When a horse bucks, it kicks out its hind legs, supporting its weight on its front legs, usually in an attempt to throw off a rider or (at a rodeo) as a natural reaction to the discomfort of a "bucking strap" tightly buckled around its haunches. The action of a horse raising up on its hind legs would be rearing, as in "Hi, yo, Silver!" The rodeo definition would also apply to bulls. If you watch closely, you can see the rodeo clowns rushing up to release the bucking strap, instantly calming the horse or bull. Dick Kimball 16:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Adjective[edit]
That song is buck. Does slang have a place in the dictionary? 134.29.231.11 21:59, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
- Slang is fine, but we need evidence meeting WT:CFI. What does "buck" mean, and can you find it in a printed book or Usenet newsgroup? Equinox ◑ 22:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
