blue money

(slang) currency.

(US, _, slang, often, in plural) A $100 bill, which bears a portrait of Benjamin Franklin.

Big ones is casual American slang for dollars — specifically hundreds or thousands of them, depending on context. When someone says 'that'll cost you ten big ones,' they mean ten thousand dollars. The phrase has a cinematic, old-school gangster or deal-making energy to it, and it pops up in negotiations, boasts about winnings, and dramatic recounts of big purchases. It's plurale tantum — you always say 'big ones,' never 'a big one' in this sense.

A hundred dollars that doesn't really impress anyone given the context. Not broke, not balling — just somewhere in the mediocre financial middle. Calling something a mid bill is the monetary equivalent of a shrug: technically a hundred, but when you're trying to stunt or treat the squad, it ain't moving any needles. The term captures that specific energy when someone acts like they're making a big move financially, but everyone in the room knows the number is nothing to write home about.

(slang) A United States one-hundred-dollar bill.
