In reply to:tsuwm is just bucking for head nit-picker over Juan
I have just been reading C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, which was first published in 1945. Bucking is there used to represent a very similar word that could not be printed at that time. For example:
"I couldn't tell that the bucking car was going to break down, could I?"
Who, I wonder is bucking for non-head nit picker?
