moloadj.

Brit. /ˈməʊləʊ/, U.S. /ˈmoʊloʊ/, Australian English /ˈmoʊloʊ/
Forms: 1900s– mollo, 1900s– molo, 1900s– mowlow.
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: Origin unknown. Austral. National Dict. s.v. molo adj. suggests a possible connection with mollie n. (on the basis that the quots. s.v. imply that drink might be involved in such parties). It has also been suggested that the word is < Romani (compare Romani mol , mul wine: 1863 in B. C. Smart Dial. Eng. Gypsies), but there is no other evidence of Romani influence on Australian slang, and the usual British Romani word for ‘drunk’ is mottered . Quot. 1906 perhaps suggests a connection with mulled adj.1 or moil v.
Australian slang.
Drunk, intoxicated.
