Slang. Usual meaning is literally just money, but can be used to mean other things such as "a bit extra", "a bonus", "a waste" or "something spare". For example :

  • "I'm earning four hundred quid a week with no overheads : it's all bunce, mate !"
    - This would mean that one has a substantial amount of cash to spend on booze etc.

  • "I used 20 bags of cement on this last job, but had 5 bunce !"
    - This would mean that one has five bags of cement that can be used on another job, but both get billed for them.
    Hence, an unexpected bonus.

  • "Nah ! Give us some bunce !"
    - I would like a tip, please.

  • "That's alright - it's bunce"
    - This is not needed.
