- Many words in the novel "Of Mice and Men" are not everyday words that an everyday person would use. So I came up with a list of words used throughout the novel with their meanings.
In the novel The meaning
Set sit
Bindle bedding roll
Brush openland
Graybacks lice/fleas
Jack money
Stake 'lump sum'
Jus/jes just
Gammered an animals cry
Ya you
Blowin' wasting your money irresponsibility
Purty pretty
Dunno don't know
'Licks him' punches him
Stablebuck stableboy
Throughout the book, there are lots of slang words used, and some are pretty hard to tell what the meaning is. So now you know some and if you have anymore please share.
This represents top quality independent study and thought. Well-organised and really illuminating for your studies. Well done.
