RE: Money Slang
The only part of the article about Canadian Money Slang that you got right is Loonie/Toonie/Twonie. I am Canadian, age 70. First, we call our paper money BILLS, not notes. In my 70 years living here, I have NEVER heard $5 referred to as a fin, fiver or half a sawbuck. In my 70 years living here, I have NEVER heard $10 referred to as a ten-spot, dixie, or sawbuck. In my 70 years living here, I have NEVER heard $20 referred to as a QE Eleven (OK, I'll allow the benefit of the doubt and concede that's a typo, that you meant to say QEII (as in the Roman Numeral for 2) but: In my 70 years living here I have NEVER heard $20 referred to as a QEII, NOR have I ever heard it referred to as a Betty#2. I have, on VERY rare occasion, heard $100 called a C-Note, but NEVER as a Borden. I don't gamble, so I have NEVER heard $100 called an onion either.
