nickels on the dime

This is a phrase that's used during negotiations.

It basically means that what you're asking for would make your share too large.

aka asking for 2 nickels per 1 dime

person 1: "So what percentage would I be taking?"
person 2: "I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen"
person 1: "I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine"
person 2: "Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?"
person 1: "Fifteen"
person 2: "I'd do eight"
person 1: "twelve"
person 2: "seven"
person 1: "ugh fine, 10?"
person 2: "nine it is then"
person 1: "...deal"

drop dime

Drop dime means to rat someone out, or reveal information, in any situation. It derived from late 1960's and 70's South, where there were 33 fires a day at one point, and crime was the highest it ever was. Thus, many people would rat to save thier own ass, and they'd use a dime because that's what it cost.

Yo man, somebody dropped dime on me. My probation officer know about my bid'ness.
