Cultural Note
Pure Spain slang. 'Molar' literally means 'molar tooth' in standard Spanish, but in slang it means 'to be cool' or 'to rock.' If something 'mola,' it's awesome. If it 'mola mazo,' it's REALLY awesome. Derived from Caló (Romani influence on Spanish). Use it in Madrid and you'll sound like a local. Use it in Mexico and people will think you're talking about teeth.
