molly

"molly" is slang related to drug use: slang for mdma, especially in pure crystalline or capsule form. If your teen uses it casually, it does not automatically mean they are using; many young people repeat drug slang they see in song lyrics, memes, or films without first-hand experience. However, repeated, context-specific use (talking about scoring, prices, plans for the weekend) is worth a calm, non-confrontational conversation. Ask open questions rather than reacting to the word itself, and check what they actually know about the substance.

"molly" is informal English meaning slang for mdma, especially in pure crystalline or capsule form. It is used widely across English varieties. A more formal or neutral equivalent would be something like "slang for mdma" expressed in standard vocabulary. A common mistake is to assume "molly" can replace its standard equivalent in every register; keep it for spoken or casual situations and use the formal form in writing. If you are a B2 or C1 learner, it is useful to recognise this word when you hear or read it, but think carefully about whether the situation really calls for it before using it yourself.
