 Welcome to English in a Minute, from home. Dough is a mixture of water and flour used to make baked goods. But how else do Americans use this word? Aw, man. I just realized I don't have enough money to buy another 7 Dust face covering. 7 Dust is your favorite band. I can send you some dough. How much do you need? That would be great. I only need $20. $20 for a face mask? I have to buy their new album, too. In this case, dough means money. Americans use other food-related words to talk about money, too. Like bread, bacon, and even cheese. I'm suddenly very hungry. And that's English in a Minute.
