“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.
It’s hillarous how catty RP theory is. A man belittling another man in front of women is loser bitch behaviour, and certainly not something one would associate with an “alpha” man (confidence, leadership, courage, remaining calm in times of crises, helping those weaker than themselves etc )
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

Back in my day, if a lady did this in front of you, you were expected to tuck a dollar in her wasteband.
As a 50 year old dude I am in agreement with you fellow oldster. I have also never heard this term.
As a nearly 50 year old dude, never heard of it either
