## Definition

In financial jargon, a sum that, although absolutely large, is comparatively small. In 1994, the term became the "vogue word of the year" in Germany. The background was fifty million DEM in outstanding workmen's invoices from a sensational insolvency case. The head of Deutsche Bank AG at the time described this amount as peanuts compared to the total claims from the insolvency of around five billion DM. - See fountain money, money terms, popular German-language, chicken feed, small change, trifles, liarding.
