extorsión Explanation: Con relación a la marijuana "shake" son las boronas o migajas del capullo de la planta. I just interpreted at a "grow-house" trial for a couple of weeks... this term came up a few times. BUT I don't think in the sentence you provided that they are referring to marijuana shake... when speaking of someone in charge of "strong-arm routines" if you say they are also in charge of "shakes" they are likely speaking of: shake·down –noun 1. extortion, as by blackmail or threats of violence. 2. a thorough search: a shakedown of prison cells to uncover hidden drugs. 3. a bed, as of straw or blankets, spread on the floor. 4. any makeshift bed. 5. the act or process of shaking down. so it's a form of extorsion (if we are speaking about a bad guy) or search (if speaking of a law enforcement officer) either of which of course goes well with "strong-arm routines"... whereas saying someone specializes in "strong-arm techniques and marijuana crumbs" doesn't really make as much sense... Hope this helps! |
