Usage notes
(girlfriend of a surfie or bikie): Because Australian pronunciation merges the /?/ and /??/ phonemes before /l/ (both become [o?l]), 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”.
Synonyms
- (surfie's girlfriend): chick
