Origin of The Phrase “Bang for The Buck”

January 21st, 2008 admin Posted in Did you know? |

Did you ever wonder where the phrase “bang for buck” came from? Well I’ve always wondered myself where it came from.

First of all, it has nothing to do with sex or ancient human slave trade. Nothing at all. There was nothing racial about this popular phrase, and this phrase was not brought into “common speak” because of some sleaze merchant. In fact, the true origin of the phrase, “bang for the buck”, is American, and it’s meaning is arguably more offensive than the above mentioned.

“Bigger Bang for the Buck”

Charles Wilson coined the phrase “Bigger Bang for Buck” in 1954 when he was the United States Secretary of Defense. He was talking about the cost efficiency of nuclear weapons as compared to the bombs designed up to that point in history. Basically, he meant that the United States could spend less money and destroy more enemy resources (including people) with a nuclear bomb than if they used a traditional bomb.

The term the that Charlie Wilson was borrowing from was, “bounce for the ounce”, which was used in Pepsi advertising slogans during the 1940s. More bounce (pep) for the ounce. When they launched their 12 ounce soft drink, they claimed to give their drinkers more pep than competing soft drink manufacturers such as Coca-Cola.

The Modern Meaning of “Bang for the Buck”

The phrase “bang for the buck” now simply means “value for the dollar”, in regards to getting the highest quality and/or best possible value for the amount of money you spend.
