Add a word/Sounds like "pahr" (as in "park") + "NEH" (as in "net")/
Meaning
Money, cash, dough. The Spanish slang "parné" comes from Romani Caló with the same meaning and was popularized through coplas and flamenco lyrics throughout the 20th century. It carries a distinctly Andalusian flavor and remains perfectly alive in everyday expressions like "no tengo parné" or "el parné manda."
Examples
“In that city without cash you can't do a thing.”
“He's been broke ever since he left his job.”
