GR translation: horn finger

[Mike Jing]

V710.38-711.8, P724.41-12   “Just a humble guy,” the swarthy doughboy of
the deep scratching in his groin after an elusive crab with a horn finger,
rippling the ballooning pleats and fabric of his trousers, “just a
freckleface kid from Albert Lea, Minnesota, down there on Route 69 where
the speed limit’s lickety-split all night long, just tryin’ t’ make it in
the Zone here, kind of a freckleface kid used a safety pin through a cork
for a catwhisker and stayed up listened to the voices coast to coast before
I was 10 and none of them ever recommended gettin’ into any of them gang
wars, buddih. Be glad you’re still so fuckin’ naïve, Rog, wait’ll you see
your first European-gangster hit, they like to use 3 rounds: head, stomach,
and heart You dig that stomach? Over here stomach’s no second-class organ,
podner ’n’ that’s a good autumn kind of thought to keep in mind.”

What's a "horn finger"?
