lds of the American West. I said let’s get Little Bill here and settle this thing. "To settle" an argument is to decide on a solution that all can accept. She didn’t even touch his poke. A slang word for a penis, but this is never used. When she seen he had a teensy little pecker, she gave a giggle. That’s all. "Teensy" (or teeny) means very small or tiny. A "pecker" is a slang word for a penis, though this is rare. A "giggle" is a soft laugh. Hang them, Little Bill! "To hang" a person is to kill them by tying a rope around their neck and letting them hang from the rope. A popular form of execution. Step over to the office and get the bullwhip. "To step over" to a place is to walk a short distance. A "bullwhip" is a whip, or long leather rope, with a large handle at the end. A whipping?! That’s all they get after what they done?! A form of punishment in which a person is hit repeatedly with a whip, usually across the back. Whipping won’t settle this; Here’s a lawful contract between me and Delilah Fritzgerald, the cut whore. This is Skinny’s way of saying that punishing the cowboys who attacked Delilah won’t help him, since if Delilah is left scarred and ugly, that will ultimately cost Skinny money. I got a contract that represents an investment of capital. An expression that refers to the money that a person pays for a legal share in the profits that a company, or in this case, a prostitute, will eventually make. Damaged property! "Damaged" means harmed or broken, and this is a legal term that usually refers to machinery or buildings. Here though, Skinny is referring to Delilah as a piece of property. Like if I hamstrung one of those ponies. "To hamstring" a horse is to injure it so that it can’t walk. A "pony" is a young horse. You figure nobody would want to fuck her now. "To figure" is a common and colloquial way of saying to think. "To fuck" a person is, of course, a very vulgar way of saying to have sex with them. Guess you just as soon not have a trial, no fuss, huh? "To just as soon" do something is to prefer to do it instead of something else. "No fuss" means without problems or excitement. Come this fall, you bring in five ponies and give them to Skinny. One way of saying "When Fall arrives…" You ain’t gonna whip them? :: I fined them instead, Alice. If a judge "fines" a person, they order them to pay a certain amount of money as punishment (rather than putting them in jail). Hell, Alice, it ain’t like they were tramps or loafers…. they was just hard working boys that were foolish. "Hell" is a filler word at the beginning of sentences to show emotion. "Tramps" are homeless people who don’t work, and wander from place to place, while "loafers" are just lazy people who never work. Both words are a bit da
