Posted by Money talk: He owes me five large.... on August 14, 2001

I've been hearing it in movies, especially ones about hustlers and gangsters in the eastern U.S. cities. Somebody will say something like "I've got to pay him a visit. He owes me five large." Now, what do they mean? $500? $5000? Please explain. - Patty
