leave home ‘He flew the coop last Monday.’
An expression of surprise; an euphemism avoiding the word 'God.', Based on James Gordon Bennett II, a 19th century hot-air balloonist and pilot who supposedly flew a small one-man plane into a barn, whilst lookers-on exclaimed: "Gordon Bennett!" The shortened name contributed to the popularity of the phrase, which died out and then regained usage in the 1980s.

Flanagan and Allen is London Cockney rhyming slang for gallon.
money. Pronunciation emphasises the long 'doo' sound. Various other spellings, e.g., spondulacks, spondulics. Normally refers to notes and a reasonable amount of spending money. The spondulicks slang can be traced back to the mid-1800s in England (source: Cassells), but is almost certainly much older. Spondoolicks is possibly from Greek, according to Cassells - from spondulox, a type of shell used for early money. Cassells also suggests possible connection with 'spondylo-' referring to spine or vertebrae, based on the similarity between a stack of coins and a spine, which is referenced in etymologist Michael Quinion's corespondence with a Doug Wilson, which cites the reference to piled coins (and thereby perhaps the link to sponylo/spine) thus: "Spondulics - coin piled for counting..." from the 1867 book A Manual of the Art of Prose Composition: For the Use of Colleges and Schools, by John Mitchell Bonnell.
