WHat the hell does "milly mod" mean and where on earth did that wretched phrase come from? There is a seller on CL who uses this term for his batch of shitty, undesigner, cheap retro crap. Whenever I see this term it makes me want to rip my hair out. I am normally not this dramatic. There is just something oddly irritating about it...

So what is it and who is responsible? Tell me. Their family is not safe.

"Mid Mod"
Is bad enough... Even "mod" alone is bad enough.

Never heard of "Milly Mod"....
Never heard of "Milly Mod". "Bo-Ho" is another which I'm not entirely clear on what it references.

Boho
Is a fashion style, roughly equating to "bohemian".

Mod sucks too, I agree. Bo-ho is a new one for me. Equally bad, too. What the hell?

I've never heard of Milly Mod until now
Perhaps inspired by the title of the musical "Thoroughly Modern Millie"?
But what's the "milly" half supposed to mean? I feel like an old codger, even asking...

Not as bad as it looks.
Nearly all the Google hits are for Milly brand clothing in "mod" prints. A search that excludes the clothing seems to show that that Craigslist seller in Austin is the only person using "milly mod" to describe furniture.

I don't see it often, but I've seen it before. Same with me - milly? What's milly? Besides infuriating?

It's taken me three months, but I've discovered the answer!
"Milly Mod" is hep-cat slang for "millennium modern".
