Golden grease is a colourful slang phrase for a bribe — money or gifts handed over to smooth a deal, dodge a regulation, or win someone's favour through corrupt means. The imagery is vivid: just as grease makes mechanical parts slide smoothly, golden grease makes bureaucratic or legal obstacles conveniently disappear. Used with a knowing wink in conversation, it implies a transaction everyone understands but nobody will openly admit to.
(slang, often followed by to) To flatter (someone) excessively; to suck up.
"apple grease" means: ; rubbish.. This is informal slang, common in casual speech, texting and social media, but not appropriate for school work, applications or professional settings. There is no real cause for concern in itself; it is everyday peer vocabulary. If your child uses it, a light comment about audience and register is usually enough — no need to escalate.

"apple grease" means: ; rubbish.. Register: informal slang, fine in casual conversation, texting and social media but not in academic essays, business writing or formal speech. Note the regional or dialect label (archaic) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
