Maybe im not in the target audience, but i had to look up what mogging is because its not explained anywhere

It's incel-speak for dominating someone. "IQ-mogged" would mean that person A was dominated/overshadowed/etc. by person B because person B is very smart. "Height-mogged" would mean the same, but due to height.

That I, an old person, know what it means suggests that it has already gone from (1) the incel or whatever community usage, to (2) ironic usage by others, and then finally to (3) widespread usage entirely divorced from the original meaning.

Not sure about this one - my slightly terrible portfolio website that i'm in the process of completely revamping (bemben.co.uk) managed to mog simon wilsons webblog ( https://simonwillison.net/ ) - which is a far better website in all aspects! Maybe introduce some additional stats like load times, content analysis etc - and tweak the prompt slightly - just because a website looks slightly newer, doesn't mean it's bet…

Fun that we both used simonw as the "competitor", and both of our more minimalistic websites won over him! :)

So the obvious next step is to pit them against each other, seems your "premium, editorial feel" won out!

> bemben.co.uk wins due to its sophisticated use of typography and a cohesive dark-mode aesthetic that creates a premium, editorial feel. While emsh.cat is functional and clean, it lacks the intentional visual hierarchy and character found in the layout of bemben.co.uk.

I love how Hacker News seems to loose out to basically everything, even example.com ("such intentional use of whitespace!")

I mean, yeah, that’s to be expected.

The site is intentionally kept visually unappealing.

I don't know what "site mogging" is, but apparently "emsh.cat mogged simonwillison.net" with the following description: > emsh.cat wins due to its superior use of negative space and a more intentional, minimalist typographic hierarchy that creates a sophisticated reading experience. While simonwilliam.net provides high information density, emsh.cat achieves a more polished and modern aesthetic through its refined lay…

Mogging is gen z alphabro/incel speak for "dominating" another that gets used ironically. If I'm taller than you, I might say "get heightmogged". This is used to absurdity, where one is able to get mogged in any number of varieties, including having the nicer website "sitemogged?" https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mogging

SNL made fun of it:

Can't wait till South Park makes fun of it!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So it's basically "owned", just a generation later... Didn't know Jacob Rees-Mogg was so popular with the kids... (please not)

"owning" generally requires doing something to the other person, such as defeating them in an online shooter Whereas you "mog" simply by being within range of the other person, you don't even have to interact, but a third party can see your natural advantages over that other person, thus "mogging" them.

Oh, that’s actually usefully different from any other English word that comes to mind. (And more playful than eclipsing.)

Mogging is vocabulary from the incel-community whcih has unfortunately become mainstream. As with so much other incel garbage (like x-maxxing and x-pilling). EDIT: Around 16 years ago I was very much into bodybuilding and fitness, and spent a lot of time on the bodybuilding misc forum. Around that time the incel community started to take shape, and you had forums like PUA hate and other dark corners of the internet.…

Consider the possibility that the general public enjoy neologisms regardless of their source, and will take and adapt them just for fun, without ascribing to the ideologies of the coiners.

Also consider that people are laughing at the cant and its speakers, rather than with them.

If you need evidence of this, try saying this without laughing: "Clavicular was mid jestergooning when a group of Foids came and spiked his Cortisol levels. Is Ignoring the Foids while munting and mogging moids more useful than SMV chadfishing in the club?"

Yep thanks to the man-o-sphere incel culture has become mainstream for young men and boys
