Slang
What does "twenty regular cash" mean in New Jersey gas station slang?
The structure combines an amount ("twenty"), a fuel grade ("regular"), and a payment method ("cash"), forming a complete order phrase. It is used in New Jersey (where state law prohibits self service pumping) to request $20 worth of regular unleaded gasoline, paid in cash, typically said to a gas station attendant. People simply say "twenty regular cash" (or "ten regular" or "thirty plus") instead of a full sentence.
Examples
I pulled up and told the guy, twenty regular cash.
