Talk:mod

I have a feeling that the third meaning listed for mod as an English noun, as well as the verbal one, have a different etymology, being an apocopation of modify. I have no sources to back this; it's only common sense that leads me to assume it is so. 62.57.0.221 15:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Also adjective?

Can't this also be an adjective (as in w:The Mod Squad)? 173.89.236.187 23:26, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

I think mod is a noun there: a squad of mods, not a squad that is mod. Compare "police force". Equinox ◑ 23:30, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

mods are gods

A modern proverb (??) or at least a catchphrase that I've seen in various places around the Internet, meaning that the moderators (e.g. on a forum) can do what they like and are not to be questioned by other users. Equinox ◑ 17:43, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
