guap
n.— «Late last night I was watching some rap star or hip hop mogul on Carson Daly, and Carson asked him about “new cool urban” words. The guy told him that the new word for “Money” is “Guac” as in short for Guacamole. Some people sometimes refer to this as “Guap.”» —“New Slang” by Amir Blumenfeld BeingFamous.com Apr. 29, 2005.
