Abstract
Buckley's or Buckley's chance are the surviving
variants of a phrase that once also existed in
the forms Buckley's hope and Buckley's show.
Where does the phrase come from? Some
theories were canvassed in the October
2000 edition of Ozwords. There are really
only two credible possibilities, and these
were spelt out by Sidney Baker in 1945 in
The Australian Language.
