In the doghouse [Clearly Confused]

Someone once described LimeWire to me as, "having unprotected sex with the internet," and they were completely right.

Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.

Quite sure that in that case the internet is RAWDOGGING YOU

Yeah, I think how she is using it is completely acceptable. We all understand what she is saying and what she means... that's a win in my book.

Although it's not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.

Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen

You gotta go to Edgar's Bagels on 65th if you want ass check flavored bagels. They don't skimp on the cream cheese either.

I'd rather eat ass than this.

You're supposed to eat AROUND the hole

So ugh where’d she post it again?

I thought that's what it meant, too.

I'm old.

If you're old enough, she's correct.

My daughter, still in elementary school a few years ago, asked if we can Netflix and Chill after a long day.

I had trouble explaining to her what it meant.

I think it can mean a both - that's the great thing about a noncommittal word like chill. I think the key part is that whatever happens is casual.

But yeah would probably get a lot of hookup attention on a dating website

Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.

Someone is going to feel so edgy when they use it as originally conceived unwittingly.

Not at work without some serious eyes

I just rawdogged this comment

Prescriptivists hate this one trick.

Did you enjoy the joke?

Her friends don't appreciate semantic drift. She's innovating the language.

Better played with a cookie in the middle

I hope your shoes are clean.

What a bore of a character premise.

I mean... from the cat's point of view that's EXACTLY what it is emotionally.

So also not a struggle session that ends with snuggles?

Fuck without condom.

You are not five.

Literal Eli5: "it's a slang term that some people use, but it isn't something you should worry about right now. It's meant for adults"

Since I'm becoming a father soon, I started learning responses like this

Me: Stop playing with the Nintendo Billy and listen: Rawdogging is when a mommy and a daddy loves eachother very much, and want to make a little baby then daddy puts his pee pee into mommy's wuu wuu...

Billy: eeeew TMI!

Just in case you really needed an answer.

In a sexual context, having sex without protection. In conversational context, it pretty much means with no support or accessories. So her "raw dogging" a bus ride means no music/entertainment, she's just going to have to look out the window or something.

Specifically, "raw" is rather obvious - meaning unprepared, as in to not use a condom

But the dog part comes from a more sinister usage where to "dog someone out" was to "pimp someone out" - ie coerce someone into sex work.

I once used the word twat around my then-girlfriend and she "corrected" me, insisting it was pronounced "twah". Turns out she thought people saying it were trying to use the French word toit and mispronouncing it. No idea why she thought anybody would want to call somebody else a French roof.

You're friend wasn't the first to make such a mistake. There's a poem from 1841 by Robert Browning, called Pippa Passes, in which he misunderstands the meaning of the word "twat." Apparently he thought it was the name for part of a nun's outfit.

But at night, brother howlet, over the woods,
Toll the world to thy chantry;
Sing to the bats' sleek sisterhoods
Full complines with gallantry:
Then, owls and bats,
Cowls and twats,
Monks and nuns, in a cloister's moods,
Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry!

I learnt that when I was about 7 after shouting it at my dad in front of a crowd of people.

eh, depends on context. Twat is pretty versatile

Wait all this time I was supposed to wear a condom while on a flight?

Oh no I have a lot of phone calls to make.

Literally today heard a preteen at my daughter's dance class say she was "rawdogging" the parking lot because she was walking around without shoes. No, child. Just... no.

Forgot my sluice gate goons raw dog this shaft work.

People use it as slang for doing something in the most basic way without protection/assistance/augmentation, etc.

Pretty much just like the lady in the comic.

Taking a transatlantic flight and spending it all awake, looking at the flight map.

Thank you, I was struggling to remember where I (and the cartoonist I guess?) had originally heard this joke.

Great memory and great description of Shrinking. Also, take that! joke-stealing comic.

Raw can also refer to the lack of a protective layer. One can rub their skin raw, for example, meaning the skin was rubbed so hard that the top layer was removed. The "cooking" in this case would be the skin healing back. And putting a condom over it for safety.
