Answer 2

I'm guessing that you came across this on the internet, and it was probably referring to the rap artist known as "Fifty-cent". It's usually pronounced, "Fiddy-cent".

Maybe this is what you're looking for: Garrison Keeler said, "You don't want a fifty-dollar hair cut on a fifty-cent head."

Answer 3

50 cent? you hard ever see one
