Hi! I'm reading this book trying to improve my comprehension in english but now, there's a sentence in it that I'm not quite sure what it's trying to say. Here it goes: [...So I yelped: 'Out out out!' like a doggie, and then I cracked this veck who was sitting next to me and well away and burbling a horrorshow crack on the ooko or earhole, but he didn't feel it and went on with his "Telephonic hardware and when the farfarculule gets rubadubdub'.]
Veck means guy in nadsat dictionary
Horrorshow means good
Ooko means ear
The context is a guy next to him is high and he speak nonsense.
Did he hitted him twice? And the part saying: "burbling a good crack on the ear" from my understanding burbling's synonym is murmur. How can he murmur a hit? And when they say he crack the guy or his ear, did they mean that he broked something?
Thanks!
