BUC is an acronym meaning Blessed, Uncursed, Cursed. It is usually used in phrases such as "BUC identified", meaning an item whose "BUC status" is known. Altars can be used to detect the BUC status of an item.
For some items, such as gold pieces or scrolls of mail, the BUC-status has no meaning and is always omitted. For some other items, such as armor or rings without charges, it is not shown if the object is uncursed, even if you have fully identified the item. Also, priests never see the uncursed-status, and can automatically tell the BUC-status of any item they see, even if it has yet to be identified.
In-game, the phrase "Items of unknown B/C/U status" appears in the [D]rop menu, but the "BUC" ordering is more common in discussions.
