drop dimes

To murder. That's what Urban Dictionary says, but everything else I can find says that it means to inform, or turn someone in, e.g. telling the police (so I've created drop a dime on someone). Equinox ◑ 11:01, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

I was under the impression it meant drop + dimes (either the monetary sense or the assist one) Purplebackpack89 11:54, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Most of the usage I find at Google books shows this as a synonym of drop a dime (on) "to inform (on)". DCDuring TALK 12:54, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

• "To murder" sense RFV failed. All of the other senses, except the &lit sense, have at least three quotations. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:04, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
