mozzer

mozzer
n
luck, good fortune. This seems to be the main surviving variant among many words ('mozz', 'mozzle', 'mozzy') deriving from the Yiddish mazel: a cookie blessing the consumer with good luck. The words have existed in British working-class speech since at least the 1880s and later became part of Australian usage, usually in the forms motzer or motza.
► 'That was a bit of mozzer - all six at one stall.' (Recorded, Newbury, 1989)
