# Mods (British slang) a group of Teenagers who wore very fine or stylish clothes and were likely to have motor scooters. They were the rivals of the "Rockers." Several times during 1964 members of these groups descended in large numbers on several British coastal resorts, roaming about in packs, damaging cafés and municipal furniture, alarming bystanders and lapsing into gang fights. The police made a number of arrests and it became a subject of national concern. See also Rockers in this glossary.
