Pass the buck
Meaning
Pass responsibility onto someone else.
Origin
From the card game poker. A buck was a marker that indicated whose turn it was to deal. Passing the buck moved the deal onto the next player. Silver dollars were later used as markers and this may have been the origin of the use of buck as a slang term for dollar.

Piper PA 18 Super Cub
The super Cub was developed from the earlier Cubs such as the J3 and L4.
Initial versions were powered by 90hp (67kw) continental C90-12F and 108hp (80.5kw) Avco Lycoming 0.235 engine. These early versions arrived on the scene in 1948.
Early versions are known as PA-18-95 and PA-18-108. These are identified by a cowled in engine. It wasn’t until later that they were fitted with flaps.
The Super Cub has continued to get more power and the Avco Lycoming 0-290-D2 of 135 hp (101kw) engine was fitted and some had flaps fitted which really brought it very good short field performance. Later the power plant became the Avco Lycoming 150 hp engine.

pa
Since "PA" is also the postal code for the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, it has had occasional use under that meaning, but this has not become widespread.
The requirement by the registry for two name servers that are geographically separated is a traditional Internet practice designed to ensure redundancy in case one network is down or unreachable at a given time. However, few domain registries impose this as an actual requirement, and it is common in most TLDs to have all name servers be in the network of the hosting provider for the domain. Some people currently question the need for geographically redundant name service for domains which are (as most are at present) virtually hosted and used exclusively to point at Web sites and e-mail addresses within a single network, usually the same one that hosts its name servers, so that if the entire network is down the site would be down anyway.

Pennsylvania
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (IPA: //) is a state located in the Middle Atlantic region of the United States of America.
One of Pennsylvania's nicknames is the Quaker State; in colonial times, it was known officially as the Quaker Province, in recognition of Quaker William Penn's First Frame of Government constitution for Pennsylvania that guaranteed liberty of conscience. Penn knew of the hostility Quakers faced when they opposed rituals, oaths, violence, and ostentatious frippery.
