Mogging definition: what "Mogging" means and examples

February 9, 2026

The act of overshadowing someone else physically, making them look inferior by comparison.

To mog someone is to stand next to them and look "better", taller, more muscular, or more attractive. It comes from "AMOG" (Alpha Male Of Group). If your son says he got "mogged" at the gym, he means someone more fit stood near him and made him feel small or unattractive. It is a competitive, often negative way of viewing social interactions based purely on physical presence.

Examples: 

  1. "That tall guy totally mogged everyone in the room when he walked in."
  2. "I don't want to take a photo next to him; he'll mog me."
  3. "Frame mogging is when someone has much wider shoulders than the person next to them."
