> "raw dog" (in gen z parlance) I had to google that...... I'm afraid 'raw dogging' means something very different in Blighty!

• HarHarVeryFunny 2y ago
  Means the same "very different" something here in the US too... Maybe doing it in a cruise ship adds to the excitement ?

    The term has been "repurposed" by gen z/alpha to mean having an experience in real life without filters.

      Well...... shagging in a car whist a bunch of blokes stand around watching and wanking certainly is an experience in real life without filters! https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dogging https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dogging

        "raw dog" and "dogging" are two different sexual slang terms. "raw dogging" here is to be understood as to raw dog in present tense, not dogging in a manner that is raw.

            A supposed expert in anything, yes.

            I'm not an expert, just someone who's heard the slang...

          Wiktionary agrees with you... https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/raw_dog#English https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/raw_dog#English What does one call dogging in a manner that is raw?

      IMO it is a complete bastardization of the phrase. The genz/alpha version is a noble form of asceticism, while the 'original' meaning is more a hedonistic indulgence without regard for consequences to yourself or others.

        I think they both share the "disregarding consequences" part.
        • bl0b 2y ago
          I don't see it. What are the consequences of, for example, staring at the live flight map and only the live flight map for a 7 hour flight [1]? Sounds boring as hell but you're not going to like bore yourself insane [1] https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/erling-haaland-raw-dogs-7-hour-flight-manchester-city-hilarious-video-back-us-pre-season-tour/blt6bf3d5f0db5c6fef https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/erling-haaland-raw-dogs-7-h...
