If you searched the web for 'shucks', they'd probably tell it is a slang word. But why shucks? This is completely my thinking and this may not be the correct origin.
You use 'shucks' like it's something of a cry of disappointment, something like that. You use it like:
'Shucks! I dropped that bucket of bleach down the roof!' Yeah well, ya get the idea.
Now if you've noticed, 'shucks' can be replaced with 'shit' and 'f***'. It doesn't sound weird when you replace that with these two. So what I think is, 'shucks' originated from the two words. After all, 'shucks' is kind of like a mixture of 'shit' and 'f***'. But what about the S behind? I really don't know, maybe it sounds more pleasant that way?
