[edit] Etymology

From Moll, an archaic nickname for Mary.

[edit] Noun

moll (plural molls)

1. A woman companion of a gangster, especially a former or current prostitute.
2. A prostitute or woman with loose sexual morals
3. (Australian) (New Zealand) (slang) bitch, slut (i.e. an insult directed at females).
4. (Australian) (New Zealand) (slang) a girlfriend of a surfie or bikie
   Note that, as Australian pronunciation merges the /ɒ/ and /əʊ/ phonemes before /l/ (they both become [oʊl]), this word is very commonly spelt "mole" in Australia, probably by contamination with the word mole, referring to sneaky people. 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".
