"The Kenosha Kid"
by Forbes Parkhill (Aug 1931) "Hatred and dread hung over the town like a pall. Pard turned against pard; every man suspected his neighbor. And to solve that mystery, The Kenosha Kid — Robinhood of straights and flushes — plays his most thrilling game for a desperation jackpot."

This did not take long to research

So then any dense mother might be able to figure it out, given the historical context. Don't worry, everyone makes mistakes and feels stupid now and again, but there's no need to take it out on people. That's called being an adult, anon.

what do I take it out on then if not on people

Yourself. It's transformative, believe me.

So maybe since he's part of this strange cycle where his sexual encounters entail rockets being dropped, he is "doing the Kenosha Kid" as a kind of game where he drops the rockets wherever he gets a lay, and the S-Gerat is the jackpot? I dunno, I read it a long time ago, but it could be one vague answer to the mystery.

It's just a silly word/phrase game from when he was drugged and interrogated at the White Visitation. It starts out with a letter from Slothrop asking the "Kenosha Kid" (which in a later part is said to be this one officer) if he ever asked him for anything and the "kid" saying he never did. The rest is just a play on how "Kenosha kid" rhymes with "You never did".
