Pie-dog

Southern slang; typically used in the Carolinas. Pie-dog is used to describe a person that carries gossip from one home to another similar to the way stray dogs bury bones (or some other gift) in exchange for what they dig up. It’s a manipulative tactic that serves to cause derision or conflict between families and the most injurious use of this tactic is used in the workplace. It’s how hostile work environments are formed.

Example one: Althea (a class mate) finds Charles and Beth in a classroom innocently talking. Beth upsets Althea so she tells Beth’s teacher and her mother she saw Beth kissing Charles in the classroom when they were alone. Poor Beth (and Charles) Althea is the pie-dog in this example
Example two: Victor and Venus (both are Althea’s coworkers) are jealous of Althea because she has two jobs and wears nice clothes. Everyday they watch her and talk about her in Spanish: They email their manager after she tells them she knows they are talking about her and informed them they should leaver her alone. The manager begins to mistreat Althea. Victor and Venus are the pie-dogs in this example.

Example three:” you better watch these ppl bring you gossip; any dog that brings a bone is looking to carry one away” . Here this is how Southern ppl warn you about a pie-dog in your presence.
