sounds like i've just gotta take my collateral out of timmy's face then. explanation Explanation: Collateral in this context is something that provides a guarantee that a lender will be able to collect the amount of the loan if necessary (e.g. with a mortgage, the collateral is the mortgaged property). In this case, 'taking the collateral out of his face' means roughing up his face to 'encourage' him to repay the loan, or failing that, to serve as 'damage in lieu of payment' -- and of course give a message to other borrowers that failure to repay won't be tolerated. |
