lettuce
This term primarily describes a crisp, hydrating vegetable. In culinary contexts, it is treated as a mass noun, though specific units are identified using the partitive counter head (e.g., a head of lettuce) to denote individual plants.
In informal urban slang, the word shifts meaning to represent currency. This usage draws a direct visual parallel between the green hue of the leaves and the color of traditional paper money, typically appearing in contexts discussing wealth or earnings.
