huckleberry

"Huckleberry" was commonly used in the 1800's in conjunction with "persimmon" as a small unit of measure. "I'm a huckleberry over your persimmon" meant "I'm just a bit better than you." As a result, "huckleberry" came to denote idiomatically two things. First, it denoted a small unit of measure, a "tad," as it were, and a person who was a huckleberry could be a small, unimportant person--usually expressed ironically in mock self-depreciation. The second and more common usage came to mean, in the words of the "Dictionary of American Slang: Second Supplemented Edition" (Crowell, 1975):

"A man; specif., the exact kind of man needed for a particular purpose. 1936: "Well, I'm your huckleberry, Mr. Haney." Tully, "Bruiser," 37. Since 1880, archaic.

The "Historical Dictionary of American Slang" which is a multivolume work, has about a third of a column of citations documenting this meaning all through the latter 19th century.

So "I'm your huckleberry" means "I'm just the man you're looking for!"

The Reverse Huckle-Buck

A sexual position, where a womans ankels are behind her head while she lays face down, the man then stands with his feet beside her thighs, the man then squats down and inserts his Penis into her Vagina, then he reaches under her legs from the outside and grabs the back of her head, (in a form similar to a full nelson) lastly the man thrust his hips violently until he ejaculates.

I took this girl home from the bar lastnight and threw her sexy little ass in The Reverse Huckle-Buck, "it was awesome!"

huckleberry friend

A very special, good friend that's been in your life for years, typically since youth. From the Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini song, "Moon River", which was featured in the classic movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

There are your good friends: people who love you. And then there are your huckleberry friends: people who've known you for years and have stuck by you and love you no matter what.
