skilligalee

Pronounced: “SKIL a guh LEE“

Skilligalee is a general term for the smallest unit a currency can be broken up into. The U.S. skilligalee is the penny, the British skilligalee is the pence, the Mexican skilligalee is the centavo, etc. (Excellent 19th Century expression: “Why, it’s not worth a skilligalee!")

So “skilligalee,” besides being fun to say, also means something obscure as a bonus. Unlike “cockernony,” which is fun to say but just means: “ponytail.”
