walking-around money
Cash for errands
Walking-around money is cash kept on hand for small, incidental expenses—the kind you might need while out and about: I always keep some walking-around money in my wallet for coffee or parking.
In American politics, the term also refers to cash distributed to campaign workers or voters on election day, often with implications of vote-buying or dubious transactions.
