'you're broke?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'look you give the bank statement showing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'look' could be 'stare' (staring is a kind of looking) and 'stare' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'showing' could be 'on' (as in a film showing or on at a cinema) and 'on' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
