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?)
silver coloured coins, typically a handful or piggy-bankful of different ones - i.e., a mixture of 5p, 10p, 20p and 50p. Commonly used in speech as 'some silver' or 'any silver', for example: "Have you got any silver for the car-park?" or What tip shall we leave?" ... "Some silver will do." In fact 'silver' coins are now made of cupro-nickel 75% copper, 25% nickel (the 20p being 84% and 16% for some reason). The slang term 'silver' in relation to monetary value has changed through time, since silver coins used to be far more valuable. In fact arguably the modern term 'silver' equates in value to 'coppers' of a couple of generations ago. Silver featured strongly in the earliest history of British money, so it's pleasing that the word still occurs in modern money slang. Interestingly also, pre-decimal coins (e.g., shillings, florins, sixpences) were minted in virtually solid silver up until 1920, when they were reduced to a still impressive 50% silver content. The modern 75% copper 25% nickel composition was introduced in 1947. Changes in coin composition necessarily have to stay ahead of economic attractions offered by the scrap metal trade. It is therefore only a matter of time before modern 'silver' copper-based coins have to be made of less valuable metals, upon which provided they remain silver coloured I expect only the scrap metal dealers will notice the difference.
