Bucket list
English
Etymology
Template:Root From Template:Compound.[1]
Template:Senseno (“list of tasks arising during a meeting”) may allude to a notional bucket in which tasks to be dealt with later are placed. Template:Senseno (“list of things to accomplish before one’s death”) refers to Template:M, Template:M in this sense possibly referring to a beam to which a pig is hung by its heels after it has been slaughtered (possibly from Template:Der).[2] It was Template:Coinage in 1999 when he drew up “Justin’s List of Things to Do before I Kick the Bucket” which he shortened to “Justin’s Bucket List”. The first item on his list was to have a screenplay produced at a major Hollywood studio. After a few years, it occurred to him that the notion of a “bucket list” could be the basis for a film, so he wrote a screenplay about two dying men racing to complete their own bucket lists with the time they had left, which became the film The Bucket List (2007).[3] The term was then popularized by the film.[1]
