Dear teachers,
I have [STRIKE]ever[/STRIKE] read [STRIKE]on the[/STRIKE] in a book the way to speak whenever you feel reluctant to pay for your friends or someone by saying and doing "fork the money to someone". However, I tried to confirm it with two of my foreign friends and they said "No". They have never heard of this phrase to describe it.
So I want to confirm with you about it. And is there any other way similar to the above saying that describes the same thing?
[Note: Not all errors fixed, especially in first sentence"]
Thanks a lot.

"Chip in" to me means to pay your share (possibly an equal share). "Fork out" simply means to pay.

My friends and I have all chipped in to buy an expensive present for David's 30th birthday.
I just forked out £12,000 for new windows for my flat.
