sweet Mameaux

An old-timey slang term for money, of Cajun origin. The phrase is pronounced slowly (the "eeee" and "ooooo" sounds are emphasized and prolonged), and the utterance of the phrase is accompanied by a hand gesture wherein the thumb is rubbed lazily across the tips of the four other fingers.
Claude possessed all the trappings of wealth except the most important: the sweet Mameaux.
