I though about this quite a bit so today decided to do something about it.
I greeted every driver that had their window open with a cheery "hello moton"! My thinking is that to defuse the derogatory nature of the term 'moton' I would use it in a positive way. I also made pleasant complements like "nice driving moton" and "love the spoiler moton" the added positivity of the complements re-enforces reversal of the derogatory nature. Most people seemed not to mind the term when used in such a nice way.
