Oo-Glossary

This blog is a voyage into a dog’s world and a trip to a new place becomes all the more exciting if you know a bit of the new language. In this strange and exciting world, you’ll have double the fun if you knew a handful of terms (all English, I assure you!)

.

Know the Characters:

• Oorvi: That’s me…the heroine and the author of this blog.
• Mercury: That’s my human friend of the XX chromosome variety.
• Cameo: My other human friend of the XY chromosome variety.
• Johnny: My canine friend of the boyfriend variety.
• Ms. Tenacity: My pet dragon.
• Fini: Our car..

.

Some Epithets for the Heroine:

• Nakhronwali: The Finicky Lady!
• Maharani: The Great Queen!
• The Marketing Guru: On this site, it’s me and me alone.

(I know, I know! “Me and me alone” is wrong grammar, but it’s cute! I am a Zinar Cutie and being cute is my first priority!).

Some Oo-Abbreviations:

• VWFs: Virtual World Friends
• DDD: Debonair Dogs’ Dig
• SAQs: Specifically Asked Questions
• UAQs: Un-Asked Questions
• Kenopia: A Ken-nel Ut-opia (and not repeat not, that beautiful bird.)

.

And Also Some D-Terms:

• Sniff: Search, find, detect by following a trail…browse to find what you like.
• Dig: The act of losing yourself into the content of my blog…and loving it!
• Paw in: Type in or bamboozle someone into typing it out for you.
• Peemail: Well, you know…you’ve seen us do that often…haven’t you – close to email that you can sniff and read the message from, dog to dog!
• Kibble: Staple diet for dogs – much touted by humans as a balanced diet, which it must be – but then too much of a good thing is bad!
• Bark: well…bark is bark…and that’s it.
• Lick: A gesture of affection.
• Wag: A gesture of friendship.
• Kiss: What? You really don’t know?! It’s obviously a slurpy lick!
• Bone: Something that you love (or makes you drool…slurp!)
• Drool: You like it…you like it…you want it…and you gobble it up!
• Slurpy: Wet and drooly!
• Treats: Gifts of the edible kind…in my case, with high chicken content!
• Bellyrub: The human technique of softly rubbing our tummies as we roll on our backs and enjoy the feeling…sigh!
• Humanese: English as spoken and written by the human species.
• Dogmese: A dialect of Humanese with a smattering of English words with a specific canine interpretation.
• Species-bias: The tendency of one species to consider another beneath itself.

I guess that’s that. If your digging turns up a Dogmese term that you don’t understand, leave me a comment and I’ll add it to this glossary here!
