dough

A Stranger is Watchingを読んでいます。
'The father's the editor of Evente Magazine, you know that new one, just a couple of years old. Guess he sank a lot of dough into it. Second mortgage, you name it. But it's coming along pretty well now.
この手の小説では "dough" がお金を意味するスラングとして会話でよく使われるので既に覚えていますが、ブログには取り上げていなかったようなので今日取り上げておきます。
・Cambridge English Dictionary: old-fashioned slang: I don't want to work but I need the dough.
・Vocabulary.com: Many baked goods begin their lives as dough, including bread, rolls, and some cookies. Dough is stiff enough that you can shape it, pull pieces off of it, stretch it and knead it. Informally, dough can also mean "money." If your friend says, "I make so much dough waiting tables!" he probably means money, not cookie dough. The word comes from an Indo-European root that means "smear" or "knead."
