The internet slang term “The Buck Stops Here” means taking responsibility for a situation or problem instead of passing it on to someone else. It signifies the willingness to accept accountability and not assign blame to others.
– Example 1:
Person A: I accidentally sent the wrong file to the client. Can you fix it before they notice?
Person B: Sorry, but the buck stops here. I’ll take responsibility and inform the client about the mistake immediately.
– Example 2:
Person A: Our team missed the project deadline. Let’s blame it on the slow internet connection.
Person B: No, the buck stops here. We should acknowledge our shortcomings and find ways to prevent this from happening in the future.
Synonyms:
responsibility, accountability
