Pronunciation: buhkt

Sentence: Alan wanted so much to get ahead on his bills. He just wanted to be able to take his girlfriend out to a nice dinner without having to skip meals for the rest of the week so he jumped at the chance to work overtime. He upset his mother by cancelling their weekly get together and majorly annoyed his roommate who was non-too-happy about walking his dog to pull an over-nighter. When he went to his car in the morning to retrieve a change of clothes, he found a ticket, whose fine exceeded all the extra cash he had just earned. BUCKED AGAIN!

Etymology: buck (money) + "another word that rhymes with buck" (screwed)

NB Americans may feel that the spelling should be 'dismize', but I couldn't do that without losing the reference to 'miser'. - Discoveria, 2007-02-02: 04:36:00

Don't worry, Americans aren't miserly with letters... Use as many as you want! - wordmeister, 2007-02-02: 11:07:00
