minus-squareVanth@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoMost I can think of at the moment are derogatory. A “dog” is a person pushing their horniness to inappropriate levels. A “cow” is someone fat and slow/stupid. A “shark” is a savvy business person who edges into taking advantage of people unethically. A “snake” is a liar and a cheat. Sometimes slang for a penis. Quiet, shy people are “mousy”. Someone who tattles to cops/authority is a “rat”. A “chick” is an old-timey term for a girl/woman that might get you slapped. A “kitty” is a vagina and also may get you slapped depending on context. Someone messy/dirty is a “pig”. “Pig” might also be used for a man who is rude and pushing sexual innuendos onto women without their consent. While to “go the whole hog” means to not hild back, to embrace doing a thing completely.
