Re: dosh : : : : : : : : : : I am interested in the derivation of
the word 'dosh ' meaning money. : : : : : : : : : : Can anyone help? : : :
: : : : : : My 1994 Collin's Dictionary says: 'British and Australian slang for
money. 20th century. Origin unknown.'
: : : : : : : : : Hopefully, others can do a bit better! It's not recorded in
my copy of the '1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue.' : : : : : : : : I also
am totally unable to track down any origins for dosh, but perhaps the following
observation will soften the blow. We British have a huge number of slang terms
for money or cash - to the extent that it's almost improbable. Wih no more than
a moment's thought, I offer you the obvious "readies" and "wad", the more
bizarre "wonga" and my personal utterly surreal favourite "spondoolicks" (sp?).
There'll be plenty more - and this is before we even get into the slang for
amounts of cash - monkeys and ponies, bottles, carpets and ladies to start
with. But that's for another time. : : : : : : : I have never heard the word
used in the U.S. I did find it in an American slang reference book, but its
origin is unknown. To me it has the sound of "carny talk."

No, of the World about the Sun. The Celestial Poles lecture, web page and
Guided Tour talk (GU 3.0) demonstrate that there is no motion of the World
about the Sun (and so it follows that the Sun must go around the World), but
this was, if I remember correctly, the wording of the reward offer.
Requirement: Show positive proof for any motion of the World about the Sun.
Shown: Motion of World about Sun = zero.
Hence: Proof positive offered insofar as direct observational evidence in
support of Motion = zero is there for all to see.
QED
Therefore: Give us the dosh.

...of the sun about the World?

proof positive that demonstrates some form of motion of the World about the Sun.
If successful, this money would be used to develop a bigger and better version
of the Geocentric Universe simulation program.
