Does the word dime as a short I sound?

You're likely thinking of the word "dime" as a slang term for a dollar.

Dime is a slang term for something considered attractive or desirable, particularly in a physical way. It's often used to describe someone who is considered very attractive.

Here's how it's used:

* "That new guy in our class is a total dime."

* "She's a real dime, I've got a crush on her."

However, "dime" doesn't directly refer to an "I" sound. The slang use of "dime" developed over time and has no direct connection to the letter "I".
