mogging

What it means

Mogging means outshining someone, usually in looks, height, or general presence, so much that they look worse just by standing next to you. The word comes from "AMOG" (alpha male of the group), a term from early pickup-artist and later looksmaxxing forums, which is a corner of the internet fixated on ranking male appearance. Most kids using it now picked it up from memes and use it jokingly about friends, sports players, or their own dad in a photo.

In the wild

"Bro your little brother is 6'2" now, he's straight up mogging you in that picture."

The parent note

The joking use is genuinely common and harmless, but the word's home turf is a scene built on rating and ranking bodies, so it's worth knowing where the fixation on looks might be coming from if it's showing up a lot.
