I read this from Blade Runner comic
Deckard: “…After hours of doing toots and bellyholes, and peering at ladies who may have been talented, but definitely weren’t either of my female replicants, I ended up at Taffy’s Bar…”. So, what does ‘doing bellyholes’ mean?.
I’ve try google that phrase and found belly-button _ this makes no sense to me.
In: Other
Blade runner is a noir novel set in a post modern, dystopian future.
The author went out of his way to make Deckard appear to be more like Humphrey Bogart, than a dried up cop / technological savant. Some of the things Deckard says are akin to what a private Investigator would have said in a 30’s or 40’s film noir.
What i’m saying is that this could be just an archaic aphorism. That he was listening to music and staring at women on the street of bad dreams.

As other comments mention, this is not thing for native english speakers. Likely just from the work
Native English speaker here: I have no idea. This sounds like some kind of obscure slang or maybe it’ll be explained later in the book but it’s not a things we, Americans, anyway, go around saying.
As a native English speaker, I have no idea. Unless it’s all slang that I’m not hip enough to know.
