"To faint" is to lose consciousness. What’s that on your chest? :: Tattoo, daddy. A drawing that is burned into a person’s skin so that it can’t be removed. What the hell made you do a damn fool thing like that? Note that "the hell" is added to Wh questions to show emotion such as anger. "Damn fool" is an ungrammatical but effective adjective which means stupid or ridiculous (foolish is more correct). It says here "Clyde fled his dying brother…." "To flee" is to run away in order to escape (past tense = fled). While we’re lying around here nearly dead, they had us holding up the Grand Prairie Bank! "To hold up" a bank is to rob it with guns. Clyde is complaining that the newspapers are saying they did things that in fact they did not do. Guess they hung that one on us just for luck. In this case, "to hang" something on another person is to blame them for having done it, when in fact they did not. How come they’re always referring to me as an unidentified suspect? "How come" is an alternative way of asking why. A "suspect" is a person who is believed to have committed a crime, but who has not yet been shown or proven to have done so. How does it feel to have a couple of big deals stay in your house? A "big deal" is something that is very important, although here CW is referring to specific people (Bonnie and Clyde), which is never done. Come on, let’s go have some supper. I’m starving. "Supper" is an old-fashioned word for dinner. You look like trash, all marked up like that. Cheap trash. If a piece of paper is "marked up," it is written on, but in this case, Ivan is referring to CW’s body, which is covered with tattoos ("White trash" is a very negative expression referring to poor and uneducated people). The law catches up with Bonnie and Clyde. The word is out that Bonnie and Clyde are holed up just out of town and they’re fixing to bust in and take Blanche out. If "the word is out," lots of people have heard the news (in this case, that Bonnie and Clyde are near). If a person is "holed up," they’re hiding in a particular building. If a person is "fixing" to do something, they’re planning to do it, though this verb is dated. Finally, "to bust in" to a building is to violently enter it, often by knocking down doors. I guess it’s been kind of rough on you, hasn’t it? If a situation has been "rough on" somebody, it has been very difficult or tiring for them. I imagine old Buck wasn’t a bad sort, was he? A dated way of saying a bad guy. I reckon Clyde just sort of led him astray, didn’t he? "To reckon" is a very dated way of saying to think. "To lead a person astray" is to lead them in a wrong direction, often so that it causes them great trouble or problems. I don’t recollect his last name
