do-re-mi
Slang for cash
Do-re-mi refers to the first three notes of a musical scale, used as shorthand for basic musical instruction or the scale itself: She taught the children do-re-mi before moving to actual songs.
The term also serves as slang for money, from the Cockney rhyming tradition where musical terms substitute for cash: I don't have the do-re-mi for that kind of vacation.
