Money (1)
adjective; folk etymology
fantastic, great, awesome
Etymology : The term stems from its Latin root moneta "mint, coinage" because a temple where money was coined was named after the Roman goddess Moneta. Recently the word diverged from its currency meaning to denote anything that is cool, trendy, or neat. The phrase "in the money" meant to finish among prize winners (as in horseraces), and the word's meaning today most recently diverged from that sense.
