How it's used

This term carries a slightly mocking or playful tone, often used to tease someone who flaunts their liquidity or insists on paying with physical cash rather than credit cards. It is rarely used as a serious financial descriptor for wealthy individuals, but rather as a label for someone who likes to show off their ready money. Using it can imply that the person is perhaps a bit old fashioned or overly proud of their liquid assets.

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe someone who is simply rich or wealthy in assets like property or stocks. It specifically refers to someone who keeps a large amount of physical cash on hand or insists on cash transactions.
