Definitions

Etymology: "Moolas" is the plural of "moola," a variant of "moolah," the American slang term for money. Its origin is uncertain. Some writers have proposed links to Spanish or Italian words for money or coins, but no proposed source has been documented well enough to be accepted. In everyday speech the term is informal and usually refers to cash or earnings that someone actually has available, rather than wealth in the abstract. That practical sense, money you can spend now, is the part of its meaning that is well attested.
