A cheerful, informal slang term for money — specifically cash, the physical kind.
Definitions
A cheerful, informal slang term for money — specifically cash, the physical kind. The name is a nod to the green color of US dollar bills, making it most natural in American contexts, though the term travels easily. It has an old-fashioned, slightly comic energy: the kind of phrase a character in a noir film might use when talking about a bribe or a poker pot. Today it appears in casual speech and lyrics when someone wants a slightly warmer, less clinical way to talk about cash.
She needed some green stuff before the weekend, so she picked up an extra shift.

(slang) Money.
“added some wires, though the new green stuff I got up disintegrated a little while mixing so I also used various metal ones too now it's looking like a weapons platform that just so happens to be built around a person, as intended”
