Acronyms that contain the term double bucky 

double bucky

Using both the CTRL and META keys. “The command to burn all LEDs is double bucky F.”This term originated on the Stanford extended-ASCII keyboard, and was later taken up by users of the space-cadet keyboard at MIT. A typical MIT comment was that the Stanford bucky bits (control and meta shifting keys) were nice, but there weren't enough of them; you could type only 512 different characters on a Stanford keyboard. An obvious way to address this was simply to add more shifting keys, and this was eventually done; but a keyboard with that many shifting keys is hard on touch-typists, who don't like to move their hands away from the home position on the keyboard. It was half-seriously suggested that the extra shifting keys be implemented as pedals; typing on such a keyboard would be very much like playing a full pipe organ. This idea is mentioned in a parody of a very fine song by Jeffrey Moss called Rubber Duckie, which was published in The Sesame Street Songbook (Simon and Schuster 1971, ISBN 0-671-21036-X). These lyrics were written on May 27, 1978, in celebration of the Stanford keyboard: Double Bucky Double bucky, you're the one! You make my keyboard lots of fun.     Double bucky, an additional bit or two: (Vo-vo-de-o!) Control and meta, side by side, Augmented ASCII, nine bits wide!     Double bucky!  Half a thousand glyphs, plus a few! Oh, I sure wish that I Had a couple of     Bits more! Perhaps a Set of pedals to Make the number of     Bits four: Double double bucky! Double bucky, left and right OR'd together, outta sight!     Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of     Double bucky, I'm happy I heard of     Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of you! — The Great Quux (with apologies to Jeffrey Moss) [This, by the way, is an excellent example of computer filk —ESR] See also meta bit, cokebottle, and quadruple bucky.
