The Meaning of Dog: Part 2
In Part 1, I introduced several slang meanings of "dog" in Japan.
In English, "dog" has several slang meanings, such as "an unattractive person," "a worthless or contemptible person," "human foot," and "dude or fellow."
In Chinese, "dog (狗)" is used to describe a single man or woman in the form of "単身狗" (where "単身" means "single").
In Korean, "dog (개)" seems to have a meaning similar to the F-word in English.
There are various meanings of "dog" in different countries, but it seems to have mostly negative nuances, so we need to be careful when using it.

犬の意味 Part 2
Part 1 では、日本における「犬」の比喩的な意味を紹介しました。
一方、英語の dog は、動物の犬以外にも、「呼びかけの言葉」「醜い人」「女癖の悪い男」「人間の足」ような意味があるようです。
中国語の「犬（狗）」は、「単身狗」の形で、独身者を表す言葉として使われます。
韓国語の「犬（개）」は、Fワードのような意味を持つようです。
意味はさまざまですが、世界的にネガティブなニュアンスを持つことが多いようなので、注意が必要です。

Me neither. I'm not sure if this is actually used, but according to the internet, it seems to be used as a slang term in some regions. :)

Interesting! Looks like it's some kind of old (southern?) expression mostly associated with the idiom "my dogs are barking."
Never heard it before so that's about all I can say. ^^;
