Hi, it sounds like street slang to me, probably throwing a bunch of three-point shots into a basket. Regards, Kim. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 8:29 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Proofreading Software Does anyone know what "rackin' threes" means? It is probably police jargon if that helps any. The book I am proofing has it. Part way through the book, many words that begin with the letter r have the space before them and the r removed. So I thought it was probably one of these errors, but wasn't sure. To see if it was a real phrase (and what it might mean), I put it into google with quotes around it. The single item returned (and I don't know if I've ever gotten only a single item returned from google before) was the line from the book on books.google.com So, I know the phrase is in the book as I thought, but I still haven't a clue what it means.
