Mogging
Looksmaxxing slang for outshining or dominating someone by comparison — usually looks, height, jaw, or frame.
Definition
To mog someone is to outshine them in a specific trait by standing next to them or being compared — most often physical attractiveness, height, jawline, or body frame. Compounds like heightmogging, jawmogging, and frame-mogging name the trait being compared. Calling someone 'mogged' means they look worse by contrast.
History
Mog / mogging spread from looksmaxxing and incel-adjacent forums (including compounds like Chadmogging) around the late 2010s, then entered TikTok fitness and mainstream meme vocabulary. Know Your Meme documents mogging as a looks-comparison slang cluster with many trait-specific variants.
