see below Explanation: Do you know how much he is ready to fork out? Sixty "bananoni" Sganciare is slang for "to pay" in the sense of "to fork out", "to dig into one's pocket for". I could not find the exact meaning of the "bananoni" unit, I suspect it's taken from videogame slang. |

re "bananoni" -- Explanation: literally, "big bananas." Based on the purchasing power of the lira (and on the "-oni" suffix, which also appears in "milioni"), my guess is that the phrase "sixty big bananas" or "sixty big ones" refers to 60 million lire. |
