What is mogging?

Mogging is slang for outshining someone so clearly, in looks, confidence or status, that they look worse by comparison.

Collins defines mogging as outperforming or outshining someone or something else, and named it the Collins Word of the Year 2026.

The word started in manosphere and bodybuilding forums. In 2026 it spread across TikTok, X and Instagram, where it is now mostly used as a joke.
