(source book: Iceberg Slim – Pimp, The story of my life)
The section that contains the word:
”It was in the laundry that I met the first man from whom I got cunning to balance my hardness. He was an old „Drag” man with his bit getting short. He was the first to attempt to teach me to control my emotions.”
Background:
The young Iceberg got into jail again and there he met an old convict who tried to teach him some kind of life philosophy. Iceberg found these teachings very useful and declared that it actually saved his sanity and life later. He felt strong respect toward the old ”Drag man”.
Drag has a slang meaning of road or street, therefore it may mean a vagabond, but I am not sure...
