Hi,

It's a slang word for money like 'dosh' and 'dough'.

Interestingly, this slang word ('spondulicks') is not used in the US -- even though it was originally an Americanism.

Is this word still actively in use in the UK, Alan?

PS
By the way, the slang words 'dosh' and 'readies' are not in use here either.

Referring to means 'talking about'. Your sentence should read I'm a bit confused (not confusing). Also, the phrase 'thank a lot' does not exist. It's 'thanks a lot'.

Dear Mr.Torsten,
Thanks for your correction. I'm so happy if you or anybody correct me whenever i make a mistake, i'll not repeat it any more.Because it's easier to remember than learn from books. (i'm unselfconfident about my grammar in English)
Again, thanks a lot! Smile
