Bu‧cket, Hyacinth /buːˈkeɪ/
a female character in a humorous British television programme called
Keeping Up Appearances. She always keeps her house very clean and tidy, and is a typical example of an English
snob (=someone who thinks social class is very important and is eager to be accepted by people of a higher social class). She pronounces her name to sound like ‘bouquet’
(=an arrangement of flowers) instead of like ‘bucket’.
