mog
[ mog ]
What does mog mean?
To mog is to be noticeably superior to someone, in everything from physical appearance to performance on a sports team. Mogging can be self-directed, when someone tries to outmatch others, or used by onlookers to describe one person clearly surpassing another, e.g., “He mogged everyone on his football team!”
The slang term mog is thought to come from the acronym AMOG, which stands for “Alpha Male of the Group.” The term has been criticized for being superficial and reinforcing toxic masculinity.
