one phrase I don't like is "giving buckets". I don't know why, but that just irks me.

Thanks for the explanation.
So this is a reference to the legendary John D. Rockefeller giving out dimes during the Depression - I didn't know John D. was so street.

It's funny that I hadn't heard that term "wet" for a shot until I moved to Georgia and played pickup basketball. Also learned that everyone says "downs" to claim what northerners call "next" and "fives" for "seatback." The little nuances from region to region.

I heard it came from old police lingo. Payphones used to cost a dime, so when an informant would call with a tip, or an assist, it was called "dropping a dime." Could be way off base, but I read that somewhere.
