n a menÂ’s felt-type hat (generally brown). The hat inherited its name from the 1894 George du Maurier novel, Trilby.

Someone evidently thought that this was a good a time as any to name the hat, and so it was.

It was only ever at the contributors junior school in Kent, and was named after Karen Kakit. She was the school fleabag, who bizarrely had left several years before he started there!

Well, I can add another area: I lived in Santa Monica (L.A.) in the 1970s and heard "moted" and "moted and corroded" all the time, at school. Although Santa Monica is only a handful of miles from the San Fernando Valley, it is definitely NOT the valley, culturally speaking; those really are two distinct areas, so you could add Santa Monica to your listing as a legitimate third part of California where the expression was used. (ed: so that clears *that* up... perhaps?)
