Reference to “Buckingham House”
[edit]I’ve no idea whether the common usage is dated, accurate or current, but William Gibson (“Mona Lisa Overdrive) has a fictional expensive custom AI VR box refer to the Palace as “the Buckhouse” in the Neurmancer world’s final book. Could someone with access to the Electronic OED 3 check on accuracy of usage - can’t afford what used to be a $20 CD set. Linguistic Irregular (talk) 08:17, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
