Me: Mom, can we get McDonald’s?

Mom: You got McDonald’s Money?

Me: No, I guess I’ll mow Mr. Johnson’s lawn for the 3rd time this month.

McDonalds money

What a parent might say in response to a request from her child when asked, if they will buy them a meal away from home, rather than say "No".
"What ? you got some McDonalds money ?!?"
It can be very effective tactic because, instead of simply saying no; it will force the child to think about a response to their question. Rather than, continuing to pester their parent to buy them something.
