Default Re: cut the buck

Hi
My general dictionary is relatively good but the problem is that it explains the "cut the buck" with only two words;thus leaving a lot of room for misintepretation.

The way I understand these two words in my own mother tongue could be the following:

1)manage well
2)cope with
3)be succesful
4)fare
5)survive

Hopefully somoone comes up with better suggestions than I just did.
Still cannot make head or tails of that sentence
