Collins Dictionary names 'mogging' its word of the year

Use of "mogging" jumped 210% this year, as Gen Z and Gen Alpha pushed the slang from online forums into everyday chat. It began around 2016 in bodybuilding culture, and is believed to be short for AMOG, meaning alpha male of the group. Collins, one of the UK's big dictionary publishers, also shortlisted "ghost job", "bixie" and "Manchesterism".
