Rezerwowy fundusz, taki "na wszelki wypadek", jednak z podtekstem nielegalnosci.
Obszerny cytat z Wikipedii bardzo dobrze to wyjasnia:

Slush fund is, colloquially, a term which has come to mean an auxiliary monetary account or a reserve
fund. However, the term has special meaning within a context of corrupt (including but not limited to)
political dealings by governments, large corporations or other bodies and individuals. Slush funds can
have particular elements of illegality, illegitimacy, or secrecy in regard to the use of this money; and the
means by which the funds were acquired.
Political dealings with slush funds tend to create suspicions of quid pro quo (buying political favors),
and can be viewed on the surface as corrupt and subversive of the democratic process. For example,
U.S. President Richard Nixon was involved in a scandal in 1952 that concerned what was called a "slush
fund" of campaign contributions. He went on television with an accounting of the money (and one dog),
and was acquitted in popular opinion.
The term "slush fund" is also used in accounting to refer to a general ledger account in which all
manner of transactions can be posted to co-mingle funds and "lose" monies by debits and credits
cancelling each other out.
Another meaning is a fund where one quarter's profits are hidden, in case there isn't enough profit
during the next quarter for management to make their bonuses.
[edit]Source of term

The term "slush fund" was originally a nautical term; the slush referred to the fat or grease that was
obtained by boiling salted meat, the sale of which could then be used to provide the crew with special
luxuries. The money obtained from this sale was placed into the so-called 'slush-fund'.

Dziękuję pięknie. Widziałem wcześniej artykuł na wikipedii, chodziło mi o polski
odpowiednik. Czy "rezerwowy fundusz" jest zwrotem zaleksykalizowanym?

[easystreet]

fundusz rezerwowy, albo rozrywkowy (na obiadki, przyjecia, "party") w firmie
oczywiscie poza godzinami pracy:)
