American slang for money — an older, informal term with a slightly comic or old-fashioned ring. Like 'moolah,' 'bread,' or 'dough,' it belongs to the long tradition of US slang words for cash. The word has largely fallen out of active use and today reads as vintage Americanism, the kind of thing you'd hear in old movies or from someone nostalgically playing up period slang.

He showed up with a briefcase full of mazoola and nobody asked where it came from.
Origin: Origin uncertain; possibly from Yiddish mazuma (money, cash), following the same root as 'mazuma,' another US slang term for money. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).
