Mogging
Outshining another person in appearance, physique, style, or presence.
“He was mogging everyone in the group photo.”
Mogging means visibly outclassing another person, especially in appearance, height, physique, style, or presence. It is often used jokingly when people are compared in the same photo or video.
Mog developed from AMOG, an abbreviation for 'alpha male of group.' It appeared in online male forums by the mid-2010s, became associated with looksmaxxing communities, and later spread as a broader and often ironic term for outshining someone.
