I thought you were cussin' with me until I looked up Fifth Third... weird.

AFAIK, 'buck three eighty' goes back a long way to NYC (and I've never been there). I first heard it in a workplace in 1980, and it was ancient then. Funny how you hear something like that - a line from a movie, a phrase, or a punchline from a joke - that sticks and becomes an 'in joke' in your family or social circle, and you repeat it so often it becomes second nature. Then one day you stop and ask, "Where did that come from?" There are certain words, phrases, & lines I could say in certain groups that would have some people rolling on the floor and others looking around at each other in bewilderment, speculating, "Guess you had to be there," when those 'in the know' couldn't tell you where 'there' was anymore...
