  • what does mozey mean?

    ?

    It would have been easier to find the meaning if you had put the term in Pashto script.
    Mozey in Pashto is a common term used for over the ankle or knee long boots/footwear. In urdu it is sometimes used for socks besides the commonly used term Juraab (Socks).

      Do you mean Mozai? If yes, boots.
      Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

      A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

      For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


      The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

      -Ferishta, 1560–1620

          back in the days (zoRRshwai wakht) mozey meant shoes (also pazar, but not sandals - thats saplai)

          now mozey also means these fine leather type socks some mulla types wear.

              Torkham is right those mullah type guys wear mozay. The correct word for socks in pashto would be "masai". Ever heard of this word?
