What do people actually think rawdog means (besides having sex without a condom)?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (7 children)

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.

Yes, because they understand the meaning and are making a play off of it. I genuinely do not believe anyone over the age of 12 who uses the term "rawdog" isn't completely and fully aware of the meaning when they use it.

Tbf the kind of person who might make this mistake is exactly the kind of person who would be embarrassed discovering the true meaning. The kind who doesn’t swear but is exposed to people who do and pick up the vernacular without the origins.
