The phrase originated from the slang usage of the words “bang” which means “excitement” and “buck” which means “money”.
⠀
Variations of the term include “bang for your buck,” “bang for one’s buck,” “more bang for the buck,” “bigger bang for the buck,” and mixings of these.
⠀
The phrase “bigger bang for the buck” was notably used by U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Secretary of Defense, Charles Erwin Wilson, in 1954. He used it to describe the New Look policy of depending on nuclear weapons, rather than a large regular army, to keep the Soviet Union in check. Today, the phrase is used to mean a greater worth for the money used.
⠀
Example 1: Even though Mariko’s trip to London was expensive, she felt that she got some bang for the bank.
