Money Slang
Feb. 19th, 2007 12:55 amI have an analysis to do on slang for my linguistics class. In short, I want the focus of my project to be Russian slang terms for money. I already know of баксы and бабки, but I need more. What are some slang terms you know of? Slang phrases are also welcome. If you could reply with a few terms and short descriptions of what they mean and when they would be used, that would be great.
Also, when the words штука and лимон are used to signify amounts ("one thousand" and "one million", respectively), does it only apply to money? Or could one use them to speak of an amount of other objects (e.g. "Я прочитал штуку страниц", "В этом городе живет лимон человек")?
