Homonym: bucks (Money)
"Bucks" is a common term used to refer to male deer, particularly in species like white-tailed deer and black-tailed deer. These animals are known for their antlers, which they shed and regrow annually. Bucks typically display aggressive behavior during the mating season, known as the rut, as they compete for mates.
In addition to its zoological meaning, "bucks" is also a slang term for money, especially in the United States. This usage likely originated from the early trading of deer skins, where a buck skin was a common unit of currency. Today, people often say "bucks" when referring to prices or amounts of money.
