Phrase you might not have heard in real life:

“Walking around money”

I love this phrase. Similar to “pocket money“

Maybe I'm weird, but I would've interpreted that as metaphorically walking, around money. Like passing up on a higher paying job, or not doing something dodgy for a bit of money

E: actually, don't answer. I already know I'm weird - nobody needs to confirm!

On first glance I thought it meant being tactful around those with different amounts of money to you

It’s a cute phrase!
