Mogging, meaning to outshine or upstage someone, has been named Collins English Dictionary's Word of the Year for 2026. The term saw a significant increase in usage, with a reported 210% rise online and in everyday conversation among Generations Z and Alpha. According to Collins managing director Alex Beecroft, "mogging" exemplifies how younger generations have adopted and made humorous slang part of the mainstream language. Despite its playful use, the term originated from the hyper-masculine manosphere community online before becoming popularized through social media trends.
