In the US, "benjamin" = a $20 bill.

Used to busk at campus. People would just lay on the grass next to me and chill.

EDIT: A Benjamin is a $100 bill... Benjamin Franklin is on that bill..

R u stupid or just plain dumb? Did you know Washington DC was the capital of your country and England's not just in Ohio? You're dumb.

I'm not even American and I know that's wrong; A Benjamin = $100.

Also, cockney rhyming slang does come into play for weed/marijuana in the UK, for example, a Ben = £10 because Ben rhymes with ten.
And 8th is just an 8th of an ounce but... Some ****ers say Hen for that, some rare lame ass mutha ****ers, like King Henry the 8th, shorten that to Hen, and you get Hen, that rhymes with Ben. An 8th is £20.

Did you expect me to be nice to you and your error after I read you calling me dumb all day? It doesn't work like that Buddy.

OT:
If they're good, I'm willing to give them a dollar or two. Most of the buskers around here think good = I play 3 chords. So, they don't get a cent.

Best place for them is downtown Denver, CO. I swear. Walking around there on a busy night you'll see countless guitarists. Then right in the middle of it all there's this upright piano all painted up just sitting there out in the street. Someone will usually be playing that. Gosh I love Denver.
