Nah it kept it's meaning, just spread more. If anything, the level of abstraction grew. "Mogged' used to be a standalone phrase, but now it's always "___mogged". | ||

Before “mogged” was a standalone phrase, it was apparently “AMOG” - “Alpha Male of the Group”. I don’t remember knowing that before this conversation. I asked Claude for the history of the term, then for primary sources, and manually put the below together to show a history of the term over time: ———— Stage 1: “AMOG” == “Alpha male of the group”. > she is not yet into you and a AMOG upsurps you September 2003 https://web.archive.org/web/20231203102826/http://www.fastse... ———— Stage 2: “amogged” ~= “dominated” > He will never AMOG you agian. August 2005 https://web.archive.org/web/20240719094244/http://www.fastse... ———— Stage 3: “mogged” (transition to a word without the context of the original initialism) > Once thought invincible the mightly 6'8" 330 pound Martyn Ford is easily mogged upon May 2016 https://desuarchive.org/fit/thread/37236240/ ———— Stage 4: “-mog” (noun), “-mogging” (verb) > he heightmogs hard December 2020 https://looksmax.org/threads/why-are-height-mogs-not-as-brut... | ||

Maybe I phrased it poorly, but I just mean the context for it changed as it became mainstream. I wouldn't say it's still "incel-speak." | ||
