Sorry, that's a cash term from a certain shady trade.

Double = $20 bill

Ummm.. something like that.

White slavery?

Must be a local tradition. The term around here for a 100 is a Ben or
a Benjamin.

I sell shade trees for cash. Every now and then some fella thinks a
check is the same thing. I remind them that I'm looking for pictures
of dead presidents.

I'd never heard the term "shade tree" used in that fashion. A shade
tree mechanic was one who worked under a tree (or at your house)
because he didn't have a place of business.

Locally, the terms "Benji" or "C-note" is used for hunnerts. I
learned about them from some ex friends who were using them to vacuum
white powders up their noses back in my last life. I'm glad I was
never rich enough for any of that crap.

Now, will everyone send handfuls of C-notes to C-less? Thank you.
