440: Dough and Blé Feb 21, 2016

Anyone who wants to becomes part of a french-speaking mafia-family, ought to learn at least one slang word. In English, since the 1960's or before, "the dough" was an expression meaning "the money", and it is still in use today. In French, the phrase "le blé" is used as one of many slang-words for money, and similar to English, it means, "the wheat", probably because bread is such a basic commodity.
