"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.
As a 60 year old dude I have never heard of such a thing.
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
