Hip British kids nowadays have revolutionized the way in which money is referred to in the UK. Formally known as the British pound abbreviated as "p", it is now and almost strictly called an ELBOW by a growing number of hip chillins (another hip British word for children that are hip). This terminology is extremely hip and is derived from a yankee expression used in the 80s referring to a pound of drugs. The abbreviation for a pound of weight is lb and some clever, yet hopelessly coked out individual started referring to a pound of drugs as an eLBow (note the LB in the middle of the word) to throw off the cops who may or may not have wiretapped his telephone. Three decades later a group of extremely hip British kids stumbled across this information and created a revolution in the already saturated world of British slang.
