I wish I had read your postscript before I followed your directions, 
preparing to make corn on the cob, removing the husks from the ears ....

Or did I shrink from the controversy on this list?

Or were you talking about a spectral hound whose appearance is held to 
presage a calamity?

Or a cigar wrapped in corn husks?

All of which are valid definitions for shucks.

Of course, the definition Bart used is:
something of little value -- usually used in the plural, often 
interjectionally, as in "not worth shucks", "don't care shucks about it" 
, "can't sing for shucks" , "no great shucks for looks" or "shucks, 
that's not worth talking about."
