This could be a double definition.

'sweetie' is the first definition.

'money?' is the second definition.
(slang term)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lolly that I've seen before include "Money (sl.)" , "A sweet; money (slang)" , "Cash (slang)" , "Flavoured iced water" , "Sweet, money (colloq.)" .)
