A playful superlative coined within mod subculture — meaning the most quintessentially mod, the peak expression of mod style and attitude. The mod subculture, which emerged in Britain in the early 1960s around sharp tailoring, scooters, soul music, and a particular brand of studied cool, has a long history of self-referential language. Moddest would be used by scene insiders to crown the person or look that best embodies everything the movement stands for — the perfect parka, the sharpest haircut, the deepest record collection.
(UK, _, dialectal, Scotland) Moderately.
(Scotland) A mole (the animal).
(Scotland, Northern England, now, chiefly, school slang) A small, short or insignificant person.
