token-sucking

An unappetizing ploy used by the desperate to retrieve subway tokens that had already been inserted into the turn stile token slot. Practitioners jammed the inside of several coin slots with gum beforehand, and then waited for riders to insert tokens which--now jammed -- failed to grant them passage.. Customers would sometimes put in several tokens before giving up. Once alone, the token sucker put her mouth over the slot and sucked the coin(s) out. The tokens were then used to ride the subway or, more often, sold at cost to strangers or fencers for slightly less than their value. The practice, which drew attention (and disgust) in the New York City subway, ended with the discontinuation of tokens in 2003.

Wilkins had the most lucrative day of token-sucking in the history of 42nd street; over ten hours, using 40 strips of well-chewed gum, he sucked out more than 100 tokens, enough to get everyone living under the bridge high for the whole weekend.

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.

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.
