What does "dosh" mean in Irish slang?
It is used in British and Irish English to mean money, cash, or funds, often in informal contexts. People typically say "I need some dosh for the weekend" or "That cost a lot of dosh." The term originated in early 20th century British slang, and remains common in the UK and Ireland, though it is somewhat dated or used humorously compared to "cash" or "money."
Examples
I do n't have enough dosh to go out this weekend.
