mootman

(legal, obsolete, UK) A court, or mote, held in a port town.

(US, slang) Marijuana.

An old American slang term for marijuana, most common in the 1930s through the 1950s. 'Mootah' (also spelled 'muggles,' 'reefer,' and a dozen other ways during Prohibition-era jazz culture) was part of a rich underground vocabulary for cannabis that circulated among jazz musicians and their circles. While largely obsolete today, it occasionally surfaces in discussions of cannabis history or period-accurate media set in mid-century America.

(India, historical) A judge or other person learned in the law.

(UK, law) Any hypothetical person used in a legal test related to trade marks; the "moron in a hurry" is the only person who could reasonably be imagined to confuse two marks.
