SPONS

A chill, shorthanded way of saying "money" — not just any money, mind, but the sort you’ve actually got spare. It’s the cash you’ve got rattling about for a cheeky takeaway, a night at the pub, or last-minute weekend plans. Not your rent. Not your nan’s inheritance. Just good old spending money.

Shortened from "Spondulix" (With spondoolicks, spondulacks, spondulics, spondoolics and spondoolies all being alternative spellings), a proper old-school term for dosh that your granddad or folks might’ve used, before you rinsed their wallet.
"Just got paid — finally got some spons to breathe again."
"Oi, I’d come out, but I’m low on spons and the pints won’t pay for themselves."
"She was proper flash with it — throwing spons around like Monopoly money."
"Bit of spons in the back pocket and suddenly everyone’s your best mate."
