Kickabuck comes from the movie Cool Hand Luke. Paul Newman is playing poker in a southern 1950ish prison(7 card stud if memory serves). When bet into he says merely 'kickabuck' and throws in a dollar raise. He does this on each successive round until finally his sole remaining opponent folds disgustedly. George Kennedy asks him to show his hand, Newman does, and Kennedy exclaims "Hah, he's got nothin'!" Newman reservedly replies "yey well, somtimes nothin's a pretty cool hand." Hence the title of the movie. If you haven't seen, check it out, it is an awesome flick.
