Apparently, in 1999, someone named Bernie Ecclestone tried to donate one million British pounds to the Labour Party, and since then, a "bernie" is a million pounds.
ANSWER 2
Score 1
Bernie is the corrected (or corrupted, depending on your outlook) spelling of the Old English word byrnie, which is a type of armor used by knights for the purpose of protecting the body when engaged in fighting with swords, lances, dirks, maces, pikes and/or other type of sharp, metal objects used to kill others.
