mogging.
Outshining or appearing superior to someone, especially in perceived physical attractiveness; a subjective comparison rather than an objective score.
What does mogging mean?
Mogging describes outshining somebody in a comparison, especially by being perceived as significantly more attractive. The broader documented sense can concern being superior to somebody or something in another respect.
The word packages the comparison as domination, which can make a comment sound competitive or demeaning. It does not supply an objective attractiveness measurement. A person saying they were mogged is expressing a judgment or a joke about the comparison, not establishing a fact about human worth.

He joked that his friend was mogging him in every photo.
The comments said the new design was mogging the old one.
The right word.
The right moment.
Recognize the competitive tone when explaining a comment. If describing the comparison yourself, say what the speaker actually prefers rather than treating superiority as measurable.
Avoid using the term as an objective ranking of people or repeating a demeaning comparison as though it were an established assessment.

Still wondering?
Is mogging an objective measurement?
No. It expresses a perceived comparison. A slang description does not produce an independently measured score for somebody’s appearance.
Can it refer to something besides attractiveness?
Yes. A broader superiority sense is documented, but the immediate comparison tells you what quality the speaker is judging.
