what is a ' bookoo buck ' ?

[–] sibannac@sh.itjust.works 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

beaucoup?

[–] sploosh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Bone apple tea.

[–] SuspiciousPumpkin421@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It’s an American saying, basically meaning a lot of money in this case. You can use bookoo to mean a lot of any thing really.

No, it's a French weird, beaucoup, that has made its way to English vernacular. For example, "merci beaucoup" means "thanks a lot."

Either the OP doesn't know that, or didn't bother actually looking up the spelling.

Huh. Well yeah I never knew that either, growing up in the South that was a pretty common saying with a similar spelling to how I wrote it originally(being the south the misspelling makes total sense now haha). Nice to know where it comes from though. Thanks for the info!

"Bookoo", derived from the French Bucchane, for smoked meat; this is also the origin of the word "buccaneer", as they generally live in it while at sea.
