"Dropped nickles on him" - hit with a sock full of nickles

"Quartered them" - to make a pay phone call in the 90s

That makes it sound like pay phone calls in the 90s cost more than an arm and a leg.

Cuz quartering a four legged animal that you have hunted is when you remove its legs.

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
