dolmas
A term which describes wealth, including cash money, but extending beyond monetary wealth to include intangible valuables.
The term originates from the dish of the same name, in which vegetables—notably leaves of the vine, often grape leaves—are stuffed with meats and other foods. Dolmas describes this relationship in terms of wealth rather than food; that is to say, dolmas describes 'cash money and then some'.
For example, a barista who regularly works one hour shifts, but accumulates tips equivalent to an eight hour shift would be said to be 'getting the dolmas', as they are not only accumulating a substantial amount of cash money, but additionally hold a lucrative position in which they are able to spend the majority of their time as they wish.
