"Mogging," meaning to outshine or upstage someone, has been named the Collins English Dictionary's Word of the Year for 2026. The term saw a 210% increase in usage online and in everyday conversation among Generations Z and Alpha, with Collins noting its playful and ironic use by young people. Managing director Alex Beecroft highlighted how these generations have adopted the word and integrated it into mainstream language, using it humorously to describe outperforming others. Despite being originally associated with toxic online communities, "mogging" gained widespread popularity during the pandemic due to increased screen time and social media exposure.
