Catchword: moded

Filed under: English

Part of speech: adj.

Quotation: I asked the males in my class, “What’s the first thing you guys do when you’re together discussing a ‘freak’ or a ‘fox?’ You ask, “Hey, what she look like?…Oh, man! She’s real fine, man. She’s light-skinned,” at which the class got quiet and smiled. Then a young girl said, “He’s right…” while the rest of the students giggled, easing the embarrassment of being “moded.”
