Ever asked someone to borrow a red lobster when you’re short on cash?

Below, learn about eight everyday words that reference money, so you won’t look so confused on your trip across the pond when someone asks if you have any squids to spare.

Denmark

Denmark uses the krona and the Danish words for hundred and thousand notes are shortened from ‘hundrede’ to ‘hund’ (dog) and ‘tusind’ to ‘tudse’ (toad).

Spain

Although Spain has adopted the euro, “pasta” remains a popular term from their days using pesetas.

Brits colloquially call pound coins squids or quid.

Australia

Australians call their notes by their color: A $20 note is a “red lobster,” $10 notes are “blue swimmers,” and $5 notes are “pink ladies.”

Germany

“Mücken” means mosquitoes in German, but locals also may use “kohle” (coal) or “schotter” (gravel) when talking about cash.

United States

Americans often call large amounts of money cheddar, dough, or clams.

Russia

Russians call cash cabbage or lemon.
