slang

Mogging

MOG-ing

Definition

Dominating or overshadowing someone, especially in looks — 'he mogged everyone in that photo'. It comes from the looksmaxxing / 'glow-up' world (see Looksmaxxing) and is mostly used jokingly among friends, but it sits inside an appearance-obsessed online culture.

Example Usage

Bro got a haircut and now he's mogging the whole class.

Note for Parents

On its own it's harmless banter about who looks good. It's worth recognising as part of the looksmaxxing slang cluster, though — if your child is using a lot of this vocabulary, it can be a window into how much pressure they feel about their appearance.
