What it means
The cash, the readies, the actual money in your pocket or sitting in the account. You use it when you are talking about notes and coins without putting on airs, perfect for tossing into a pub chat or a quick text. It carries a bit of corner-shop warmth, the kind of word someone picks when they know the value of every quid and want to keep the talk grounded.
Usage examples
"Right, I am a bit short on dosh this month, we doing the cheap pub or what?"
"I have not got the dosh for a holiday this year, so it is a week in a tent in Wales again."
"He made a load of dosh flipping old furniture, now he acts like he invented the idea."
