This is the original English spelling of Jail Bait. The meaning is exactly the same, it still refers to some fifteen year old bitchlet who is dressed and made up to look like a twenty-something slut who storms out of the house after a row with her parents about the way she looks. Full of teenage fury she gets a bit drunk then comprehensively fucked by some bonehead who can't believe his luck. When her parents find out, the sap who shagged her finds himself in court with an angelic-faced schoolgirl in the witness box and the end result is gaol and the sex offenders register.
