== Etymology == "Slush fund" was originally a [[Glossary of nautical terms (A-L)|nautical term]] for the cash that a ship's crew raised by selling [[fat]] (slush) scraped from cooking pots to [[tallow]] makers. This cash was kept separate from the ship's accounts and used to make small purchases for the crew.<ref>"slush fund, n." OED Online. Oxford University Press, September 2016.
