(source: Iceberg Slim: Pimp – The story of my life)
In the novel, Slim visits his old friend in a pub and gambling joint. They sit down and start talking .The old stud works there and when the boss shows up he becomes nervous and quickly closes the conversation. Slim has never seen the boss, thus he asks his old friend why he became so upset when the man came in. May be that man is a cop?
The answer is:
”Oh no. He is the owner of the joint, come to check the bankroll and cut box.”
So what is ’cut box’ here?
Thanks in advance
