Meaning
Money — slang, in the same family as 'bread', 'corn', and 'paper'. 'Dunny' is used casually of cash, especially in dancehall and street talk, as in a man with plenty dunny to spend or a hustle to make some dunny. Like most money slang it carries a certain flash and confidence, the talk of getting, flaunting, or lacking money in everyday and lyrical speech.
