Mogging is like, you know, looking better than someone looking looking hot.
And it actually what I found is it comes from it's like a sort of an acronym, but it's it stands for like alpha male of the group.
and then male of the group mog, mogging.
So there's this like, you know, alpha, beta, dominance, go back to the jungle, you know, Darwinian kind of thing going on.
There's all kinds of words that they're just making up on the spot too, right?
It is social dominance, really, or just dominance in general, right?
