Meaning – What is a ‘mo’ in Slang?

meaningmeaning-in-contextslangword-meaning

This short dialogue is from the movie Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist:

Norah: He's a complete mo, look at him.

Caroline: He is not a mo. Look at how shitty he's dressed. His Supercuts haircut.

Considering this usage might be a slang, I checked Urban Dictionary but couldn't find anything that fits the context. I can only think of mo being short for modus operandi, but that is usually written as "M.O." I think.

Best Answer

It's short for "homo", which is in turn short for "homosexual". Caroline cites gay stereotypes (good dressers, nice hair) and his lack of fulfilling them as evidence against Norah's assertion.
