1. An interjection shouted at someone who has been publicly humiliated. 1a. "Moted, corroded, your booty exploded." 2. Adjective describing such a person, i.e. "When she said that to him, he musta felt so moted." 3. General insult, i.e. "Those shoes are hella moted.". Contributor reports this as being very regional in its use. He doesn't think it's been heard outside the California state border. Even in CA it seems to have been confined to certain neighborhoods, with huge tracts of land between them totally ignorant of the word, as if it had teleported the distance. He thought it was a San Francisco Bay Area thing, but recently heard it referred to as "Valley slang" (S. California.) He remembers it from the early 90s, but its use apparently peaked in the 80s. Probably derives from "demoted." (ed: no sooner do we add information than it's updated... which is great! For example... see below. Ilana sent in the following) Your listing says it was particular to California, but you only list the Bay area (San Francisco) and the San Fernando Valley as places where you've gotten confirmed reports it was used. Well, I can add another area: I lived in Santa Monica (L.A.) in the 1970s and heard "moted" and "moted and corroded" all the time, at school. Although Santa Monica is only a handful of miles from the San Fernando Valley, it is definitely NOT the valley, culturally speaking; those really are two distinct areas, so you could add Santa Monica to your listing as a legitimate third part of California where the expression was used. (ed: so that clears *that* up... perhaps?)
Exclam. Expressing delight. Adj. Excellent, wonderful. * Also whizzo.
money. There are many different interpretations of boodle meaning money, in the UK and the US. Boodle normally referred to ill-gotten gains, such as counterfeit notes or the proceeds of a robbery, and also to a roll of banknotes, although in recent times the usage has extended to all sorts of money, usually in fairly large amounts. Much variation in meaning is found in the US. The origins of boodle meaning money are (according to Cassells) probably from the Dutch word 'boedel' for personal effects or property (a person's worth) and/or from the old Scottish 'bodle' coin, worth two Scottish pence and one-sixth of an English penny, which logically would have been pre-decimalisation currency.
