    Just because slang words need to catch on.

    So you start calling them Twenners at your end and I will at my end.

    When we see somebody goin in the Queen Vic on Eastenders looking for change of a Twenner we'll know we've succeeded! Lol

    Fiver, Tenner, Twenner. I like it. And why is there no 15 pound note?

    1. Tenner is easy to say - sometimes more so that "ten" or "ten pounds".

    2. Though yours is a clever play on words, it would presumably by a "twentyer" - which is even harder to say.

    You ask a blonde that question?

    We don't care as long as we got lots of them.

    I get lots of them when I shake my booty.

    Twenners are In Betweeners...

    so tweeners works for me.
