Y: “You know the buckuks, the stuff that control something with the wheels in the car?”
R: “Yeah?”
Y: “Do you know where the word buckuks came from?”
R: “No clue…”
Y: “BACK AXIS.”
R: “Hahahaha. Buckuks, backaxis, buckaxis. Haha, that’s funny.”
Y: “No that’s not the funny part. The funny part is ‘buckaks amami.’ Get it? Front back axis?”
R: “Hahahaha.”

    Here is one more the waneet name used in Saudi to refer to a small pick truck started as a name for certain Nissan (Datsun) pick truck with a 1.8 engine.

    1.8 => One Eight => Waneet.

    PS: Its actually a back AXLE.
