'mo = homo

[Arnold M. Zwicky]

from the march 2004 issue of GENRE, the "advice + consent" column by
john a. vlahides, p. 78 (answer to a letter from a gay guy):

   Discovering that you're gay may initially seem like a curse.  But
hang in there, keep on asking the hard questions, and you may find that
turning out a 'mo is the best thing that ever happened to you.

'mo = homo was new to me.  it's an example (relatively rare, but not
unattested) of a word clipped down to its unstressed final syllable.
anyone have other attestations for 'mo?
