If "dough" (slang for money) derives from "bread", shouldn't that in turn reference cockney rhyming slang? Or does this come from some other lineage? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.75.170.81 (talk • contribs) 21:43, February 3, 2006 (UTC)

im sure dough, (interchangable with bread) meaning money comes from the cockney rhyming slang bread (and honey) - money, not that bread is needed to live!

According to the Oxford English Dictionary Online, the use of dough to mean money originated in the United States. It doesn't give an explanation of how or why that is, unfortunately. The earliest quotation the dictionary cites is from the Yale Tomahawk in 1851: "He thinks he will pick his way out of the Society's embarrassments, provided he can get sufficient dough."

[edit] Elephant Ears? o.0

In America, "elephant ears" is a common name for fried dough.

Um, which America and what region of that America is this common in? o.0

[edit] Play-Doh merger

If it is a success I hope it will keep the Dough name so Dough can become one big article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avazelda13 (talk • contribs) 00:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
