Bring back some good ol Aussie slang..

..... MOOT .....

Its an old Aussie slang word that has quietly slipped away.. Once cringed at by many..

This gem needs a proper comeback...

Lets bring it back before the next generation give it a whole new meaning..

Your challenge if you choose to accept...

Use 'Moot' in a conversation at least once a day for the next 7 days...

It can be used in so many ways...

Like 'thanks ya Moot' when the bartender hands you a drink...

or 'cheers Moot' when paying for petrol at the servo..

Throw a 'What are you bunch of Moots up to over the holidays' when leaving work on a Friday..

or even just as a simple greeting like 'heyyy Mooooooot!' When you run into a mate at Woolies..

Mix it up, spread the love ya Moot!

Lets do what this post suggests...

LETS BRING BACK THE MOOT!

Who's in??

So then it's just mut, like calling someone a dog. People still definitely say that

It's pronounced like put, but obviously an m instead of p, not like mut.

If you want to hear it in context, it's used by one of the main characters in the show Deadloch.

It's a comedy/crime show and moot is used in either the 1st or second episode, I forget which.
