Lunfardo is thousand, usually for money. It surely comes from the Caló, where pronounced the same, with the same meaning. It can also come from the Greek: the 'kilo' vesre is loki, who would have become luqui, luque or luca (and later on Lucretia, lucard or luqueti) by dissimilation.
* Only one "like" per meaning and day, the more "likes" the meaning will appear higher in the list
