bucket list

The term ‘bucket list’ originated with a 2007 movie of the same name in which Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman portray two terminally ill men on a road trip with a wish list of things to do before they ‘kick the bucket’ – an uplifting movie, despite the theme. The phrase has become part of our 21st-century lexicon and has inspired many of us to think about the things we’d like to do, see or accomplish before we shuffle off this mortal coil so to speak.
