MIZZLE, to run away, or decamp; to disappear as in a mist. From MIZZLE,
a drizzling rain; a Scotch mist.
“And then one _mizzling_ Michaelmas night
The Count he MIZZLED too.”—_Hood._
MOB. Swift informs us, in his _Art of Polite Conversation_, that MOB
was, in his time, the slang abbreviation of _Mobility_, just as NOB is
of _Nobility_ at the present day.—_See_ SCHOOL.
MOBILITY, the populace; or, according to _Burke_, the “great unwashed.”
_Johnson_ calls it a cant term, although _Swift_ notices it as a proper
expression.
MOBS, companions; MOBSMEN, dressy swindlers.
