quicko: tuck

AKA food. Not sure where they got this one from, but they seem to like it.

  1. Maybe from the idea of "tucking" into a meal?

  3. Actually it's short for tucker.

    cf. "And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag... etc."

    Apparently 'tucker' wasn't short enough, so 'tuck' it is.
