Bucktown
n.— «Ever wonder who originally coined the phrase “Bucktown,” the slang which has since become synonymous in the Urban landscape to describe the concrete borough? That’s right, Smif N Wesson’s Tek & Steele. Yet, there is so much more to Brooklyn, New York than meets the eye.» —“Tek & Steele Return With ‘Smif N Wess: Reloaded’” by Dave Rap News Direct Aug. 1, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
