The correct answer is: spree

Hot weather in the UK has caused a cash spree.

A spree is a short period of time spent doing a particularly enjoyable activity, such as spending money or going shopping.

The UK has been enjoying an Indian summer, with temperatures in England reaching the record level for October: 29.9 °C. According to the BBC, the Link network of cash machines reports that more money was withdrawn from their UK machines last Friday (30 September), than any other day so far this year.

spree = Rausch 

A spout is a continuous stream of liquid or the tube-shaped part of a container that allows liquid to be poured from it. To spout means flow, or send out flames or liquid, and also means to talk a lot, in a boring way.

"A spout of water shot out of the broken pipe."

"Blood spouted out of the cut on his leg."

"Mark was spouting a load of nonsense in the meeting this morning."

spout = Fontäne; Ausguss, Tülle; (heraus)strömen; vom Stapel lassen
