When you use the internet without an adblocker

You're just

RAWDOGGING THE INTERNET

[–] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 82 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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.

[–] 299792458ms@lemmy.zip 43 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Quite sure that in that case the internet is RAWDOGGING YOU

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 234 points 10 months ago (11 children)

I mean, she's still using it correctly in that context. 👀

If I say something "tastes like ass" and I'm eating, like, a bagel, I'm probably saying it tastes bad and not like ass cheeks.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 94 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 35 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen

I had a friend who thought "Netflix & chill" just meant watch movies and relax, so she had it on her dating app profile and couldn't understand why she only got hookups.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 86 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So ugh where’d she post it again?

I thought that's what it meant, too.

I'm old.

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 18 points 10 months ago (3 children)

It's a double entendre. It means both, but much more the "hook up" subtext.

That's.... A valid way to use that phrase now

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 44 points 10 months ago

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

What’s with modern webcomics only posting to social media and nowhere else unless someone reposts it? I want an easy to browse gallery. If your comic is only available via instagram/twitter then I won’t read your comic

[–] datendefekt@lemmy.ml 18 points 10 months ago

Im OK with social media as long as it has RSS. But that also means no insta and no twitter.

Off my antidepressants and just rawdogging reality.

[–] thessnake03@lemmy.world 86 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just rawdogged this comic

[–] TaintPuncher@lemmy.ml 43 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I just rawdogged this comment

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 19 points 10 months ago

You must be very flexible

[–] Seraph@fedia.io 80 points 10 months ago

I still like the phrase "raw dogging reality" as I have zero desire to do so.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 76 points 10 months ago (1 children)

She should have barebacked it instead.

Ok, but like the use of the word is correct as it evolved from the original meaning.

That dude is just explaining (albeit recent) word etymology to her.

It's like porn - "art porn" is not the same as "porn art" (eg food-/history-/Earth-/map-/artefact-/engineering-/city-/justice-/penmanship-/sky-/human-porn etc).

I'm too lazy to get my glasses, I guess I'll just RAWDOG this post.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 58 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

I only recently found out the origin of "circlejerk"

[–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 10 months ago (5 children)

Better played with a cookie in the middle

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

That's called limp biscuit

Some context, this girl's character is one of those people strongly against using swear words with bad meanings, so to her it's quite a bit worse.

I had to explain to my friend that "struggle snuggle" is not when your cat is trying to get away from you while you hug it.

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 50 points 10 months ago

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

Please explain like I’m 5, and a non-native speaker, what "rawdog" means 🧐

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 87 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Fuck without condom.

You are not five.

[–] 7uWqKj@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thanks pal. You’re right about me not being 5 of course. No idea how one would ELI5 that anyway.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 22 points 10 months ago

Trying to make a baby instead of just a mommy and daddy special hug?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

Thank you, I'm going to go repeat this in front of my teacher and tell them I heard it from my parents.

[–] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (6 children)

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

@The_Picard_Maneuver I'll never correct anyone who uses "rawdog" this way, but that's only because will also never not find it funny when they do. What can I say, I'm easily amused. 😅
