- The phrase “pass the buck,” meaning to evade responsibility by shifting the blame to someone else, has two possible origins. [1] during the heyday of poker in the 19th century, a marker called “the buck” was placed beside the player next due to deal. accepting the buck was to accept responsibility for dealing. [2] the card players may have got the idea from an earlier egalitarian usn tradition that is still followed. at formal dinners, a marker, also called “the buck,” is placed on the wardroom table to indicate which officer is to be served first. this buck is moved around the table before the next dining-in, so that a different officer has that privilege at each meal. [3] no one knows where the term came from, but it has been suggested that the original markers were silver dollars— raising the question, was the marker named after the coin, or the coin after the marker?
