Use of The Term
Advertisers and retailers have used the name and image of a tuck shop many times to promote products or to promote a nostalgic sense of familiarity. Some shops have simply called themselves "The Tuck Shop". For example, on Holywell Street in Oxford, there is "The Tuck Shop," and, further down the road, there is "The Alternative Tuck Shop" (see photo).

Famous quotes containing the word term:
“In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
