Funny money slang

February 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Economics, Fun

You’ve heard of the terms sawbuck, quid, simoleon and the loonie for money — money slang is not new — but I’d never heard these before:

$100 = Boomer
20′s = Frogs
50′s = Hee Haw
10′s = Squat

When I asked my friend where he heard these, he said: we just made them up in college. And he still uses the terms. Which may prompt you to say, why the h%^* are you telling me about this. No particular reason, other than money slang has a pretty rich history. And if you’re at all interested in it … well, the internet is a superhero, after all.

Let me tell you about money slang, buster
