English term or phrase: German bands
Seorang detektif yang menyamar sebagai pejalan kaki berpura2 tertabrak kereta lalu mendekati kereta uintuk melihat dan mengamati si pemilik kereta... dia berkata sambil mengusap pipinya saat mengucapkan "German bands":

A little rifle range would go a long way, sir, rubbing calluses off these German bands.

Si pemilik kereta mengeluarkan pistol kecil.

Kira2 apa ya artinya German bands di sini?

Thanks.

Explanation:
Erich sudah setengah benar. “German bands” adalah Cockney rhyming slang untuk “hands” sementara “rifle range” menandakan “change” (uang receh). Si deketif berpura-pura jadi gelandangan sehingga menggunakan dialek Cockney rhyming slang.

Maaf, detektif, bukan deketif.

Explanation:

√ Dengan mempertimbangkan adegannya (mengusap pipi) dan kata sebelumnya (calluses, "kapalan" atau kulit menebal di tangan atau kaki akibat berulang-ulang dan lama memegang / menginjak), kemungkinan yang dimaksud adalah German hands.

Makna / maksud German sendiri adalah (a) si Detektif mengklaim berasal dari Jerman, sekaligus (b) sindiran kepada pemilik kereta tentang suatu kejadian di Jerman.

Di dalam konteks: ... Tuan, melenyapkan kapalan dari tangan-tangan Jerman ini.
