Brass razoo is an Australian term that has its first recorded origins in soldiers’ slang in World War I. It is heard often in the statement “I haven’t got a brass razoo” when someone is out of money. There is no actual thing called a brass razoo, though some speculate that the term arises from Egyptian or Indian currency. The term itself is not a neologism, but has been part of colloquial vocabulary for almost a century, and has its own reference in the Oxford English Dictionary as “a non-existent coin of trivial value”.
