Yes, **slush** has slightly different nuances in UK English. In Britain,
the word most strongly refers to **dirty, muddy melting snow**?the
grey, sludgy stuff you step in on wet winter pavements and roads. This gritty, unpleasant quality is more emphasized in British usage.
In the US, "slush" is more commonly associated with **frozen sweet drinks** (like cherry slush slushies). While Brits understand this meaning,
they're more likely to call it a "slushie" or specify the drink type.
In the UK, plain "slush" more naturally brings to mind road snow
rather than beverages.

What's your source for this? I'm American, and I call that drink a
slushie. "Slush" means the melting snow outside.

The term for the frozen drink is "Slushie". "Slush" is, as you said,
melting snow, but not on the road. It's in the gutters of the streets
and what you have to wade through.

I would say there's slush on the road, though it wouldn't be there long
if anyone were driving.

That seems to say nothing at all about "sulsh fund" -- and, indeed, >apparently slush fund is separate from snow or ice in any form.
