Comment on Anon airs out
ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 1 week agoWhether the action was feeding, walking, or fornicating, though, all of these early examples were used to mean “to loaf around” or “to waste time” (dogs have often been associated with laziness, as in the expression “dogging it”). Later on, possibly around World War II, “fucking the dog” and its euphemistic equivalents took on a secondary meaning of “blundering.”

I know what fuck means too. Read the first sentence again… “all these early examples” are expressions referring to being lazy, with later meaning to include blunders. It was never actually an expression that suggested someone was fucking a dog or a degenerate, but instead just a vulgar expression of someone being lazy.
