Should we all officially use the word "Jack" for money?

I like to call money "jack". Like, Man he must have a lot of of jack to be driving the Porsche. Should we make it official? So like the news anchorman will say "Congress approved $700 billion for the bailout, and that's a lot of jack!" Wouldn't that be cool?

    Jack should be okay for money. Just don't follow it too closely with off. It might be received as an insult or Congressmen might think you are addressing them.

    I don't think it's a good idea. What if jack means something different in another country (like crap). Then imagine what you would get if you went to a bank to ask for a loan? I would stick to money. The term has worked for many,many,many years already.
