kes to cold-deck low, eights or nines. A slangy way of saying that he likes to cheat using the 8 and 9 cards. She picked him clean. He never missed it. In this case, "to pick a person clean" is to pickpocket their wallet without them ever noticing. Just worry about your end, kid. This is Gondorff’s way of telling Hooker to stop worrying about others and to make sure he does his own part of the con as well as possible. You sure you checked this guy out?. :: He seems like a pleasant man, a lot of cash, expensive suit. I’ll vouch for him. "To check out" a person is to investigate them to make sure they are OK or acceptable. "To vouch for" a person is to give personal assurance that their behavior will be fine. Always drink gin with a mark. A type of hard liquor. Sorry I’m late guys, I was taking a crap. The name’s Shaw. A very crude way of saying to go to the bathroom, or more specifically, to defecate. This is a gentleman’s game. We assume you’re all good for your debts. A "gentleman’s game" is a snobby way of saying a game for rich people. If a person is "good for their debts," they’ll be able to pay whatever money they owe to others. I can still shill, board, anything you want. "To shill" is to pretend to be a person that you are not (There are many shills involved in a big con). I don’t run with riffraff, and I only drink on weekends.

This is Gondorff’s way of trying to anger Lonnegan after he just beat him at poker. Obviously, it is very insulting to accuse a person of doing anything with their head up their ass! We brought you a tap into the wire. You’ll get race results, odds, scratches, pole positions, everything, and just as fast as Western Union gets them. A "tap" is a device that allows a person to collect data from a wired telegraph (or to secretly listen into a phone conversation). In horse racing, the "odds" are the chances a horse will win a race (2-1, 7-2, etc), "scratches" are those horses that withdraw form the race, and "pole positions" refers to the lane the horse will start in. Western Union is (still!) the biggest telegraph company in the world. You got moxie, Eerie. Get yourself a suit.
