Huckle Bearer

"Huckle Bearer" is a nonsense phrase invented by nincompoops on the internet who didn't understand what Doc Holiday was saying in "Tombstone" when he said "I'm your huckleberry". It comes with a made-up "explanation" that in the mythic Old South, handles on coffins were called "huckles" (they were not), qnd this pall bearers weere called "huckle bearers" (they were not). The idea is as stupid as it is false, and it is entirely false. The term "huckle bearer" was created ex nihilo shortly after the release of "Tombstone" in 1993, and has no history prior to that at all.

I’ll be your Huckleberry

I’ll be your Huckleberry. Phrase used in the film Tombstone and quote from very early book about Doc Holiday. This term came from the fact early law enforcement officers were called Huckleberries, this due to the fact that the huckleberry was used to dye their coats. The term Bluecoats is still with us today. Older people can remember a cartoon about old west sheriff Huckleberry Hound. When Doc confronted Johnny Ringo he essentially was saying “I’ll be your lawman”. When he and Ringo meet again he makes the statement and says “now it’s official” showing Ringo the badge Wyatt gave him.
