  She more than likely picked up that expression from me and never 
dropped it. I was a very verbose teen. I remember having a few 
expressions such as "how cool" and "dig it." I also eventually started 
using the nasty "F-word." She, however, did not swear until being 
overexposed to it. I was always saying things like "buck it" or "buck that."

One day, out of the blue, she hollered "why don't you clean up your 
bucking room?" After the initial shock I'm pretty sure I said "how 
cool," mom used the f-word. :-)
