Best Answer: A buck-slip is also a small piece of paper that is sometimes preprinted, or hand-written, and included the names of the people who were to receive a memo or report. It is a routing list. In the days before copy machines and computers people typed one memo, with a carbon copy, then passed the one copy of the memo around to the people listed on the buck slip. Each person initialed next to their name on the buck slip and passed the memo on to the next person on the buck slip. A tactic used to delay or delegate something was to pass the document on to the next person, without initialing the buck slip -- pass the buck (slip).
Being an avid history buff, I have often seen the image of the scarab in my plunge into Egyptian lore. Unbeknown to me, scarabs are a very powerful symbol for a multitude of positive superstitions. Now Iâm no expert, but my research has found a few beneficial reasons as to why Egyptians use them in their murals and jewelry. First and foremost scarabs are a potent symbol for good luck. Another more explanatory reason is the actual physical characteristics of the beetle. The spherical proportions of the beetleâs wings, and their glittering reflection lends to the perception of the scarab as a symbol of the rising sun. Accordingly, this very powerful connection also insinuates the scarab to be a protector of evil, symbol of rebirth, regeneration, and transformation.
The definition of a scab is  a rough or crusty piece of skin, especially one that forms over a healing wound, or a worker who refuses to strike. An example of a scab is a crust over a cut. An example of a scab is a person who takes over the job of a worker who is striking against an employer.
