Boracic

It’s pronounced ‘brassic’ and it’s slang for being penniless. Like so many other widespread expressions, it derives from the Cockney rhyming slang 'boracic lint' which rhymes with skint signifying that the person has no money. Incidentally, boracic lint was used as a dressing in the treatment of ulcerated skin.
