" Jesus, what a tramp"(pg.33)

"Listen to me you crazy bastard," he said fiercely. "Don't you even take a look at that bitch. I don't care what she says and what she does. I seen 'em poison before, but i never seen no piece of jail bait worse than her..."(pg. 33)
"Well you keep away from her, 'cause she's a rattrap..."(pg. 34)

George tells Lennie that Curley's wife is "jailbait," meaning that she is trouble and someone to avoid because she could cause problems for them. He warns Lennie to stay away from her to prevent any trouble.
