This is the context:
-- Hey! How much is it?
-- You're a man of your convict --- you just wanted to ask that and blurted it out, didn't you?

Are you sure it isnt "A Man of convictions"? If so that would mean that he was a man who held strong beliefs and sticks to them.

In my humble opinion, the proper usage would have been " a man of your conviction". Conviction in this usage means
"the state of being convinced of error or compelled to admit the truth" (reference Merriam Webster dictionary). I do not think the phrase was used in the proper context or way when you heard it or uttered it..

I think you mean "man of your convictions"... convictions meaning a strong persuasion or belief.
