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!

"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.


Wiktionary agrees with you... https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/raw_dog#English

What does one call dogging in a manner that is raw?


This is what I love about HN, you can find an expert on anything.


A supposed expert in anything, yes.


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


yolo



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.


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
