The legendary man who rose to fame simply by saying 'Wonga!' on the Envirofone advert. Has since become an Internet sensation. Is often used in videos to illustrate a point through the use of the word 'Wonga!'.
English Romany word for money. Originally means burning embers and in other european Romani dialects 'angaar' still has that meaning. In 18th and 19th century English 'coal' also meant money. Wonga is the romani calque.
Meaning money, dosh, cash, dough, readies, paper, coinage etc
Strange because nobody heard it until it was on TV.
Popularised in 2009 by some random dude on the Envirfone advert. Where you send them your old phone for WONGA!
You can get £50, £100 or maybe even £150!
