      Words are held up by the belief of people. The use and repetition will in turn fortify and canonize. Only reason we have current writing and linguistic patterns is because someone somewhere decided these things. It’s just so ancient to mankind that we do not have the writings to understand when or why. Who or where?

    “Mogging” as a term originated in the early 2000’s and went mainstream-ish in the late 2000’s when the “pickup artist” community started getting attention in places like the New York Times. The people who originated it are probably like 45-50 years old now.

    Quick etymology: comes from these pseudoscientific douchebags trying to name the phenomenon where a man tries to subtly belittle another man in front of women, establishing that he’s the AMOG (alpha male of group), eventually became a verb amogging or mogging, and then various specific types of this behavior earned prefixes: heightmogging, etc.

    The fact that it has this kind of staying power, 20 years later, is the surprising part.

      I’ve heard of nigging but I’ve never heard of this.

      That said when these idiots typically start hanging around a bar you know that it’s a good indication that you need to to go to a better bar.

      Of course it’s always a good idea to hang around for a little bit to see how long it is until one of them gets a drink thrown in their face. Always entertaining
