I instinctively read it as referring to molar concentration. It is actually common in chemistry to say "10-mole solution", which means 10 moles per litre. The per litre part is implicit, which confused me greatly during undergrad classes. The actual unit of 1 mol/L is called a molar.

Yup, I knew a postdoc once who didn't like to say litre; the first time I first heard him say "mole per dm cubed" I didn't know what he meant. (He also had an accent.)
