What does gonnegtion mean? It's not in my dictionary. Thanks for looking this up!

    Very sketchy! Not a real word yet apparently.

    "gonnegtions" is Fitzgerald trying to represent a sleezy Jewish gambler saying "connections." it's mildly offensive.

    Actually, it looks like corrupted pronunciation of "connection!" Say it outloud.
