In Australian slang, "to mozz" means to jinx someone or bring bad luck by speaking about something positive too soon, often resulting in the opposite outcome. It is used in informal Australian English in everyday conversation, especially in sports, gambling, or casual talk where people are cautious about "tempting fate." The term comes from "maundering" or more commonly is linked to "Moses" or "the evil eye" folklore via shortened slang evolution, though the exact origin is uncertain; it developed in Australian speech as a clipped, informal verb meaning to cause misfortune through words or prediction.
