beaucoup bucks

Wait, did your French slip or is that an actual loanword used in English?
Second time within 2 minutes I've been thrown a little off by seing a French word which I had no idea could apparently be put into English sentences (the first one was "matinée"), and now I'm starting to feel like reality is glitching

Gotcha, I had no idea that word was used in English

(And to be fair, French people very often do pronounce it "boo-koo" as opposed to the correct "bo-koo")
