rat dog

A very small dog, usually less than 10 or 15 pounds, usually short-haired but not always. Usually not of much practical use as a watchdog or protector, but kept mainly as a companion by little old ladies, gay men who don't like cats, and Paris Hilton. Includes such breeds as the Chihuahua, the Miniature Pinscher, the Rat Terrier and other similarly sized breeds.

"That rat dog is 3 years old and he isn't housebroken YET?"

"I swear, if that rat dog tries to bite me again, I'll stuff him in a sock and hang him up as cat bait!"

Dogwalker

Also "dog walker". A homosexual male, usually (but not always) rather effeminate. So called because of the greater-than-average percentage of gay males in the pet-care and pet-grooming industry, and the fairly common practice among gays as well as straights of walking dogs at the park or other public place as a way of meeting people.

"Man, check out those two guys over there with the pink poodles. What a couple of dogwalkers!"

"That sissy works for my veterinarian. The job suits him perfectly-- he's a real dogwalker."

Eating by proxy

When you order a healthy or low-calorie item in order to give the appearance of sticking to a healthy eating pattern, then load it up with fattening ingredients in order to make it taste better or delude yourself into believing that the proxy food is still healthy. Gives the outward appearance of a healthy choice, when in reality it has as many calories and as much fat as the not-so-healthy meal that you really wanted in the first place.

Jordan is on a diet, so she ordered a salad. However, she really wanted a hamburger. So, she ordered the salad in order to look like she's sticking to her diet, but then she topped it with lots of cheese, bacon and ranch dressing. Now her salad has as many calories as the burger that she really wanted in the first place. Her friends praise her for sticking to her diet by ordering the salad, not taking into account that all the extras have put that salad into fat-bomb category. Jordan is 'eating by proxy', whereby the salad is the 'proxy' for the 'fattening' hamburger.
