Is mogging the Word of the Year?

Yes: Collins named mogging its Word of the Year 2026, announced on November 3, 2026.

Collins defines mogging as outperforming or outshining someone or something else, in appearance, confidence or status. It says the word started around 2016 as a bodybuilding noun for the most dominant man in the gym, then became a verb in the manosphere.

Collins adds that the word is mostly used tongue in cheek now. Its shortlist included firewave and ghost job.
