It’s California in the 1980s, and—uh-oh!—you’re outsmarted or caught doing something stupid and someone else says, “Ooooooooooo, moded!” This Schadenfreudian slip of an expression was sometimes accompanied by a chin-stroking gesture, or elaborated...
moded adj. tricked, trumped, or beaten (at a contest of wills or skill). Also moated. Editorial Note: This term appears to have originated in, and is especially common in, California. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
