(sorce: Iceberg Slim – Pimp, The story of my life)
Now I am interested in the meaning of a complete sentence. I understand every single word in it but I still cannot decode the whole sentence.
It reads:
”I had told the runt to check her scratch past fourty slats into the toe of my tan Stetsons.”
Background:
Slim lets her girl (’the runt’) out to the street to work as a prostitute. Previously he told her some basic rules and instructions about how she must handle the money she earns.
So what does the aforementioned sentence mean?
