The slang term is popular among Generation Z and Alpha and means to surpass, overshadow, or outplay someone or something. It originated from the acronym AMOG (Alpha male of the group). Initially, the word mogging was associated with bodybuilding forums. It is now actively used by Zoomers and Alphas — usually in a humorous or teasing context. This year, the word has entered mass usage — its frequency of use has increased by 210%. "Choosing mogging as the word of the year by Collins shows how each generation leaves its mark on language. It’s a great example of how Generation Z and Alpha took a word and turned it into a fun slang, making the language their own and 'mogging' everyone else," said Collins Managing Director Alex Bikroft.
