Whatever happened to 'jogging'?

[Dimbleby]

When I was growing up, you'd see joggers jogging out and about. "I'm going for a jog."

Now, it's almost exclusively running in modern parlance. You go for a run.

Why don't we talk about jogging any more? Strava wankers trying to professionalise it? Or did people realise the word was just a bit weird.

Any other terms that got monstered by another and their usage fell off a cliff?

Yeah, monstered got cunted.

[Buelligan]

Cunted still going strong, glad to say.

[poo]

Purely about flogging shit. Every cunt is an athlete now.

[Captain Z]

Still a reasonable community for it if you know the right lay-bys.

[FeederFan500]

Jogging is to running what a kickabout is to playing football, "running" sounds more impressive.

One exception to this is fast people going for a run and humble bragging that it was "only a jog".

[Stoneage Dinosaurs]

Joggers and runners should both settle on a shared name for them that they can both use. Here's an idea: cunts

[Dex Sawash]

They all switched to running because it's always joggers discovering dead bodies

[BlodwynPig]

Run on

Nobody bonks any more do they? Maybe they still do in the tabloids.

For the heroes, for the grindset, for the Sunday warriors, for the nonces, for the paedos, for the sex offenders, for the troglodytes, for the dregs, for the sputum, for the wastemen #wearejoggers

- Killian, I'll be back.
- Only in a re-jog.

...bonks or takes part in a romp.

Jog to the hills, jog for your liiiveess

Be jogging up that road
Be jogging up that hill
Be jogging up that building

I'm gonna jog to you
I'm gonna jog to you
'Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna jog all night
I'm gonna jog to you

Etc. etc.

(I would actually quite like it if people started saying things like "well, they had a decent jog". Or referred to the stage that models walk down in haute couture shows as "the jogway")

They changed the first letter and got reported for voyeurism.

Richard Dawson did his best to keep the flame with his single in 2019
