Buckshee. Often used by my Dad, as in wanting to know if the last slice of cake was 'going buckshee'. I've mentioned it before and someone on here said it originated in army slang. Which would be appropriate for Dad.
My dad used it too originates from baksheesh I believe , Arabic for gratuity.
He used a lot of odd words some military , some Romany .
