The only thing I question is the definition for “pipe”. I’ve never heard it used to mean listen/pay attention. I’ve heard “peep” used in the manner, as in, “Peep that”. Just because I’ve never heard it doesn’t mean anything though. The rest is correct though.
According to Green’s Dictionary of Slang, it can mean many things. In this case, I’m betting on:
pipe, v.(3) 1. to look over, to inspect. 2. orig. of a detective, to follow, to pursue; to spy on. 3. to understand, to work out.
[with US examples 1882-1962]

I have only heard it used in ‘pipe down’, meaning to be quite.
