Slang for euro?

That's it Stephen, keep it going, work those arms.

Few people I know call them "notes"

Being a lazy fecker who doesn't work in a shop, I don't call them euros or rupees or bongos or any of that nonense.

"How much was it?"

"Forty-five"
or "Four-fifty" or whatever.

Where there's confusion as to whether a yorkie may have cost sixty-five cents or sixty-five euros, I either call them "euros" or "balloopas". Yes, I made it up. Sounds nice and I do use it (even though I'm not five)

I started off saying Euros to be gramatically incorrect on purpose, but I switched to Euro - only realised it's cause I'd a habit of saying fifty poun' instead of fifty pounds. Along the same line I always say fifty cent, but that's cause cents just doesn't roll off the tongue for me. Sounds too much like cent.

helen_br · 21-02-2003 10:19AM

I call them polovoy-chlyens myself.

Mind you, I'm not sure why yo-yos is good, like, cos it ain't really a word that rolls of the tongue.

DapperGent · 21-02-2003 10:54AM

A bill.

****ing 5 bills for a pint.

Sometimes yo-yo, which I like.

Sometimes quid.

Sometimes europeans when I'm not into that whole brevity thing.

Mostly just bills though.

Dr_Teeth · 21-02-2003 11:00AM

I say quid, it's curreny-independant as JohnK mentioned.

Rupees comes from the Zelda games.

And it's Euros, with an 's' as we speak English here you peons!

Teeth.

Dustaz · 21-02-2003 11:33AM

Rupees is the currency of India you mongs

Euros is gramatically correct (ask Yoda) as its an allowable localisation of the term under european guidelines.

I say quid tbh

Sangre · 21-02-2003 12:07PM

Its still in Zelda

Well you're right and you're wrong there, mate - the word you've rendered above is gramatically correct under these circumstances: 1 - possessive (e.g. the euro's fast rise in recent times has prompted fears of recession) or, 2 - abbreviation (e.g. the euro's rising very fast at the moment).

It's not a valid plural though. Try euros, or possibly euroes, which *might* be valid as it's analagous to zeroes, tomatoes etc.

nesthead · 21-02-2003 12:32PM

say quid, euro-dolla' the odd time, type yoyos. whats so wrong with yoyos, euro-dolla' the odd time

hehe, De Niros

best of all

mooman_00 · 21-02-2003 01:26PM

I call em e's. Last friday i stole 40 of me ma's e's from her hand bag. Dropped a few e's at the local off-licence, had roughly 20 e's left by time i got to the club. Gave 10 e's to me mate just cuz he looked like he needed them, he put his to good use in the club the minute i gave them to him and fuccked off after that.Had a brilliant nite, but to be honest i cant remember what happened, I either lost the other 20 e's or used them in the club, ah well thats how these things go:)

During the week i just call them euros

Beruthiel · 21-02-2003 01:52PM
