A buck380

Definition. The term derives itself from the early days of American history. A buck was a male deer. 380 is the masonic term for whole or completely whole. So a buck 380 was an entire deer which was very valuable/expensive. The deer was Usually sold in parts to get the most value for it. If someone bought a whole deer which was a buck380. It meant that they got it at the cheapest price you could get it at. So when the term began to travel to the east from the Midwest.. The city dwellers began using the term a buck380. And if someone wanted to be stubborn in selling something and wanted a customer to pay an unreasonable amount of money. They would tell the customer when they asked " how much for that item.?" The store keeper would say "a buck380" knowing that in the city you would have to be very wealthy to come up with a whole buck or be a great hunter/trapper. And that the item in question was of such value that they could not afford to purchase it. And if they did. They would say "i got it for a buck380". Later on into the 1920's and 1930's gangsters began using it as a term to mean that it was a dept that could not be paid monetarily and could only be repayed by a favor that would be asked of at a later time. There are many variations but the meaning is always the same: The price for anything that is not priced, something that canot be paid for monetarily.
