Exemples:

Tenho que conseguir umas verdinhas pra pegar umas peças.

Um comentário:

  1. I have never heard skrill, gwap, gouda, goat, rupel, scrap...
    But that doesn't mean that they don't exist...
    The others I get but the most common that I have heard are
    scratch and benjamins ($100.00 bills).
    A c-note is also a $100.00 bill.
