Bucks is the most common
A dime is also $10
As in I dropped a dime on that fight
It can also be a synonym for ratting someone out,"I dropped a dime on his ass when the feds came around" alluding to the fact that for many years a pay call cost 10 cents,the fact that I distinctly remember the ten cent pay call is not making me feel youthful,of course I also remember rotary phones,and dinosaurs
Dinero comes up alot because of the large Latin population in the states

i've never heard dinero, nor have i ever heard a dime being dropped on a fight.. maybe that was just way before my time..

probably because i've never seen anyone bet on a sporting event only for $10, i guess..

anyway, "bucks" is always used, but "dollars" is just as common.. I'd say bucks is more slang just because if you're at a restaurant or retail store they will say "that's 10 dollars and 50 cents" as opposed to "that's 10 bucks and 50 cents".. bucks is a more casual word i believe, and less professional..

besides the stuff that kingfrank said, the only other that comes to mind is a "fin" which is a $5..

and TM, I remember 25 cent phone calls, and i'm not saying that because i'm old or anything, it's more just sad that a call costs MORE than 25 cents now.. sort of ridiculous..

i also forgot "gwap" which can also be used for money.

but sawbuck is the dumbest one i heard so far.

I'll do some common scouse phrases including money and other things.

Sound- Another word for OK, good etc "That's sound that"
Scran- Word for food, "Going to get a scran soon"
A Score - £20
A Bullet - £1
Swerve - Go against, "Swerve going out tonight"
Clobber - Clothes
Wedge - Money, "Got a nice wedge on me here"
Garys - Drugs
A gonner - Drunk, "He's a gonner there"
If something is a beast/belter it just means it's great. "Belter t-shirt that"
Togger - Football, "Going to play togger soon?"
Inabit - Another phrase for see you later "Inabit mate".

There's a load more but there some common Liverpool phrases.

A weird city I know

what the hell?

I think it would be funny if a group of my friends hung out with people who spoke like that.. If any of those words were used in a sentence spoken to me, i'd have no idea what was being talked about..

i already think that using the word "pissed" referring to someone being drunk is weird.. simply because if someone said "he's pissed", i'd assume they were angry at something, not drunk..

along with "mate".. "he's my mate" would mean that you were gay, unless you were speaking in some sort of european/australian accent..

[Trainer Monkey]

No kidding RP,that was just about the only reason to hold on to dimes,in case you needed to make a call

I have to be honest when I speak I use ALL those words I mentioned.

On here I know it's full of Americans and other Brits so I don't use scouse lingo. You ever met me in real life you would think I had my own dictionary I always use the word mate as well "Thanks mate". Very common phrase in Liverpool also.

[boozeboxer]

I use the word mate alot. And I think it is from purely being on here. People look at me funny but fuck. The british invented history.
