Moll (slang) (original) (raw)

Moll/Mole/Molly is a slang term with two different meanings in two places: * In the United States, an archaic term for a gangster's girlfriend. See gun moll. * In Australia and New Zealand, usually pejorative or self-deprecating, for a woman of loose sexual morals, or a prostitute. * In Western Australia, circa 1970-1990s and less commonly after, Mole can be both an insult or friendly term of endearment for women. A Mole used as an insult describes an unlikeable female who is annoying. For the American sense, see gun moll. The remainder of this article describes the Australian sense.
