Very interesting podcast, I have heard most of these expressions but wondered where they came from. Definitely not something you learn in a regular Spanish class.

🎧 Today’s podcast: Palabras al vuelo Ep.2: Colloquial Words for Money 🎧
In today’s episode, we’re talking about something fun, useful and very real: the different ways people refer to money in Spanish. You’ve probably learned dinero, but that’s just the beginning. In everyday conversation, you’ll hear colloquial words like pasta, plata and others; they can vary depending on where you are in the Spanish-speaking world.
Have a listen to Inma and Silvia. Notice how very different their accents are, Silvia from the Basque country and Inma from Andalusia.
