broad tosser

A person who manipulates three cards -- two red aces and a black queen-- on a flat surface, while barking at passersby to bet they can follow the queen (or "broad") as he moves her and the aces around. He is the most important member of the mob running Three Card Monte, a swindle posing as a game. Other members pose as players who make a show of winning and collecting big bets, which encourages suckers to bet money from their own pokes. . The broad tosser invites players to "chase the lady', before he executes his secret move, whereby he appears to throws the queen face down when in fact , he has exchanged it for one of the aces. The chumps follow the wrong card from the very beginning.

Rodrigo was a broad tosser who dressed like a loser and pretended he couldn't speak English; he attracted cocky, well-dressed men from Wall St. to bet -- and lose--- thousands on Three Card Monte every week.

We'd

This conjunction of two words ("we would" or "we should") is also a homonym of weed, the common slang term for cannabis. Therefore, "We'd!" is an expression of agreement used by pot lovers to anyone suggesting cannabis use.

Herb Stoner: "Any of you eighth graders here want to join me behind the gym to smoke a number?
Stoner Bud 1: "Yes, we'd!"
Stoner Bud 2: "We'd indeed!"
Herb Stoner: "Great, first pay me 20 bucks. And come with some girls, or don't come at all."

schedule II

A category of drugs that can be legally prescribed but are the most stringently monitored because of their potential for abuse and {diversion. Schedule II drugs include stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamine and opiates such as fentanyl, which is far more dangerous than heroin, even though the latter is Schedule I. While Schedule I drugs have been deemed as having "no medical value" and cannot be prescribed because they are presumably the most dangerous, Schedule II drugs are generally far more dangerous and addictive than Schedule I drugs. The fact that non-lethal drugs such a cannabis, and psychedelics such as LSD and peyote are Schedule I drugs say more about the period when the schedules were created (as part of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, under Nixon) than they do about the actual danger of the drugs.

Dr. Feldman's ability to prescribe Schedule II drugs was suspended after the DEA noticed he was prescribing thousands of Percocets at a time to six buxom women he knew from Temple.

fade

A term used in craps to describe a bettor who covers "part or all of the shooter's center bet". Such a bettor is a fader, (who, according to oddsmakers, enjoys a slight edge over the shooter. Therefore, craps hustlers pass when it is their turn with the dice).

I decided to fade the shooter five times for all five dimes, convinced he would crap out. Unfortunately, he threw two sevens and three elevens, costing me the entire five grand -- leaving exactly zero in Junior's college fund.

garage motel

A law-enforcement term for a hotel that hides its main purpose -- providing kinky rooms for brief trysts for, say, two cheaters or a john and his escort. Garage motels feign respectability by calling l themselves "hotels" -- yet they feature indoor garages and internal staircases to protect identities of visitors., making them more expensive than "regular" motels. Garage motels rent rooms which may include mirrors on ceilings and heart-shaped beds.

The FBI explained that the 2006 Brink's robbery in Miami became especially serious after one of the robbers was kidnapped and taken to a garage motel to be tortured in secret. Though the place called itself the Princess Hotel, they soon learned it was a garage motel that made a lot of money renting out discreet access to rooms for an hour at a time.
