the buck [sing.] used in some expressions to refer to the responsibility or blame for sth:
It was my decision. The buck stops here (= nobody else can be blamed). • I was tempted to pass the buck (= make sb else responsible).
[Oxford OALD Dictionary]


Webster's Online Dictionary:
"The buck stops here" is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman. It refers to "passing the buck," i.e., handing responsibility to someone else, and the fact that the president has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions.
