Etymology 1

Noun

moll (plural molls)

A female companion of a gangster, especially a former or current prostitute.

A prostitute or woman with loose sexual morals.

(Australia, New Zealand, slang, pejorative) Bitch, slut; an insulting epithet applied to a female.

(Australia, New Zealand, slang) A girlfriend of a bikie.

(Australia, New Zealand, slang) A girlfriend of a surfie; blends with pejorative sense.

(slang) A female fan of extreme metal, grunge or hardcore punk, especially the girlfriend of a musician of those aforementioned genres.

Usage notes

(girlfriend of a surfie or bikie): Because Australian pronunciation merges the /ɒ/ and /əʊ/ phonemes before /l/ (both become [oʊl]), this word is very commonly spelt mole in Australia, probably by contamination with mole (“sneaky person”). Indeed, the Australian Oxford dictionary does not list the Australian meaning of the term under the headword moll, but only under mole, although it does recognise that mole in this sense is “probably” a mere “variant of moll”.
