The use of the word buckets is no doubt an artifact of our beloved
American tradition of taking a thing or concept and shortening it into
something that's easy to pronounce and doesn't have too many syllables.
Or maybe it's an artifact of a similar custom down there in the Land of
Oz. I certainly can't imagine Americans or Aussies standing around
talking about the "large folder concept" or "broad folder theory" or
"aggregated, large-category file structure theory" or anything along
those line. You can't really spit those out rapid-fire, which is our
preferred mode of communication.
