The idiom "pass the buck" has its origin in American poker during the 19th century. In poker games, a marker or token called a "buck" was used to indicate the player who was the dealer. When a player did not want to assume the responsibility of dealing, they would "pass the buck" to the next player. It is commonly employed in discussions related to decision-making, accountability, and problem-solving.

What is the origin of the idiom "pass the buck" and when to use it?

to [pass] the buck
