quids
Slang for pounds
Quids is the plural of quid, British slang for one pound sterling: I paid fifty quids for it, though fifty quid without the s is more standard.
The singular quid, like American "buck," doesn't change in plural after numbers: twenty quid, not twenty quids.
Quids appears mainly in set phrases like quids in, meaning in profit or ahead financially: If we sell now, we're quids in.
