Talk:slush fund

Comedic use
I am tempted to add a second definition along the following lines:
 * 2. (used for comedic effect) Money that has not been hypothecated or dedicated to a particular purpose, or which is used for a different purpose than originally intended.

Please consider. I only hold back on the basis that just about any word could be used sarcastically or for comedic effect. But for "slush fund" I think it's somewhat common. —DIV (49.186.97.223 13:05, 15 July 2022 (UTC))


 * I've become convinced. Editing accordingly now.  —DIV (49.186.97.223 13:35, 15 July 2022 (UTC))
 * Note: I've quoted three sentences.  Please check that it is nor excessive.  It's clearly less than 10% of the original article, FWIW.  Not sure whether Wiktionary has guidance on this.  —DIV (49.186.97.223 13:44, 15 July 2022 (UTC))

Etymology
Investopedia gives a different history, where in the 1700's "cooks sold grease they gathered from cooking meat to buy luxury items". —DIV (49.186.97.223 13:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC))
