"skin full of hop, head full of boogeymen"

You know Mink. Hysterical. Skin full of hop, head full of boogeymen. Comes home crying one day, saying he had to pop one of the Dane's spies.

Found the source for Bernie's phrase when he's describing Mink's reaction to killing Rug Daniels. 

"She's had a skin full of hop since we started." 

-Dashiell Hammett, "Crooked Souls" 

Also, includes "I suppose," she spat, "you think you've raised hell!"
