It sounds vaguely rude!

Mogging is slang for dogging (cockney rhyme)

When I first saw it I thought it was something to do with Jacob Rees Mogg. However, having read the meaning ‘to outperform or outshine’ I see I was on the wrong track!

You’re definitely not alone! It feels like there’s a whole new language popping up every week. Just when you think you’ve caught up with the slang, the dictionary goes and adds another one! :joy:
