money. Other variations occur, including the misunderstanding of these to be 'measures', which has become slang for money in its own right. These slang words for money are most likely derived from the older use of the word madza, absorbed into English from Italian mezzo meaning half, which was used as a prefix in referring to half-units of coinage (and weights), notably medza caroon (half-crown), madza poona (half-sovereign) and by itself, medza meaning a ha'penny (½d). Potentially confused with and supported by the origins and use of similar motsa (see motsa entry).
n five-pence piece. Before the U.K.’s currency system was decimalised in 1971 and became simply “pounds and pence,” the Brits had “pounds, shillings and pence.” Like all crappy Imperial measures there wasn’t ten or a hundred of anything in anything and good riddance to the lot of it.

Initially introduced as a bug - probably head lice, cooties are some form of horrid affliction that you can get by coming into contact with anyone of the opposite sex, or sometimes same sex, if they're gross. (i.e.: all gross people by definition have cooties.) So once established as an imaginary infestation on the playground, cooties have become to be associated almost exclusively with with girls (possibly because they traditionally have more hair for head lice to infest) although anyone of questionable hygene is subject to cootie ridicule. Either way, for boys the rule is "Stay away from girls, because girl have cooties". Infestation could be prevented by common measures like crossing your fingers (although in the US it wasn't called bargies) or simply by avoiding contact with infected persons(i.e. running away as fast as you can). Also you could receive a cootie immunization by the well known incantation and actions: "Circle, Circle, dot, dot, Now I have my cootie shot" (whilst drawing 2 circles on your forearm, and then poking it twice in the middle for the dot, dot part), I'm sure there is a lot more cootie lore out there. (ed: would love to hear it if you have some?)
