Exclamation Moolah copy

I was searching in google for "moolah" and look what i found: http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/act...bo/review.html, and on this site there are standing following: "Mollah is the currency of the game"!!?!.
It was released on february 2006, so oddworld was long before it.
So are oddworld getting copied or what?.
Edit: I don´t know why but you can only go to the site through google or yahoo (maybe also some other search sites).

The term "Moolah" has been used quite a lot e.g. Star Wars.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Or Personal Identification. Gamespot likes to share its passion for videogaming by forcing you to pay for what are essentially game advertisements.

I always call money moolah. I don't see why you guys find that so suprising. You don't get out much, do you?

I was not aware of the slang term Moolah prior to Oddworld introducing me to it. It is not a common word here.

I have never encountered it either...of course Australian slang is slightly different

Umm... It's still alive because you posted in it. If you hadn't, it would just have settled into obscurity.

That said, I'm closing it anyway just because it's fun to do.
