Hi everyone
This phrase appeared in a western Movie :

What does it mean? If anyone could help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, It means your future is so worthless that I wouldn't even pay a worthless thing ('a bucket of . ') for it. In a Western, this kind of statement often means that the person is going to be shot dead.

This makes me think of two colorful expressions involving excrement that were favorites of me sainted Irish-American mother. One described extreme poverty: "he didn't have a pot to p*ss in or a window to throw it out of." The other described stinginess: "he wouldn't give his sh*t to the crows if he thought he could sell it."
Doubtless there are many, many more such expressions.
