英语词汇dip的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

dip. A pickpocket. In a pickpocketing operation the dip works with an accomplice called a steerer who selects the score, or victim. The steerer then signals a stall, or stick, who blocks the score by slowing down or falling in front of him. A shield or shade walks on one side of the score, shielding him from witnesses, while the dip, the actual pickpocket, moves in from behind and picks the score’s pocket. Another accomplice called the dish takes the wallet or the money from the dip and passes it to a gang member in a nearby car. Sometimes there is even a sixth accomplice called a tailpipe who watches well back of all the other players for police surveillance. This is a very com- mon pickpocketing scheme in New York City, where a pick- pocket is also called a mechanic, an ocho (a master pickpocket), a cannon (a white pickpocket), a shot (a black or Hispanic pickpocket), a hook, a finger, a wire, a rouster, and a spitter (who “accidentally” hawks phlegm on his victims to distract them).
