Hardboiled Detective Slang.
You'll be spittin like a shamus in no time.

I pronounce this link: Jake.

Nickdanger, why are you going around pronouncing links? Didya just get ordained by Monkeybashi?

Is this a banana in my pocket or am I just pleased to see this post? ("Chicago overcoat" has to be my favourite. Brilliant.)

Sorry Alnedra got up on her hind legs, Nick, but you fellas tryin' to rope her made her nervous. Miles gettin' bumped off upset her, and then you birds crackin' foxy, but it's all right now, now that she knows what it's all about.

Close your head, gum-shoe! We know you're dizzy with that dame - that's why YOU painted Miles with a goofy Harlem sunset. Soon as we tighten the screws on the stool pidgeons in your gang, they'll sing all about it - and you'll be takin' a noseful of Nevada gas!

well done quidnunc!

This is the second post I've met this week that thinks a gat in the hand means the world by the tail. The cheaper the gun the gaudier that patter, is that right? Show us those gams, dollface. Murder.

This FPP looks familiar. But I'm not trying to tighten the screws on anyone, or anything; it's all eggs in the coffee in my book.
