I've heard the term quid many times, but am not sure what a quid is. Is it a slang term for pound sterling? Or what. Seems like in addition to quid, Andy Capp used to use 'bob' for money. Also slang for a pound? US$ slangisms: dollars = bucks smackers simoleans (sp?) greenbacks Well, I know there's about a million more. How about other languages.
