I have a question about slang. The following is from Mama Black Widow by Iceberg Slim: "I jimmied a window at his pad to beat him for any frogskins I could latch onto and maybe for his table Philco and record player." One paragraph later: "I cold cocked him with an iron pipe and took the heater, a grand in foreskin and the dope out of his pockets." About "frogskins" and "foreskin": Do they both mean "money," or something more specific? Or something entirely different?
