Cigarette dog

A dog that looks like it smells of cigarette smoke or an unpleasant smell due to the owner whose house might reek of cigarette smoke or an unpleasant smell. The dog is usually small, skittish, has excessive or lack of fur, gross looking, malnourished and usually has an orange/brown tint of tear stains on their fur near their eyes making it seem like they haven’t been bathed in years.

Sally’s Shih Tzu is such a cigarette dog. It looks like it hasn’t seen water and soap in months and its lazy eye is starting to freak me out.

hair of the dog

An alcoholic beverage consumed as a hangover rememdy. The phrase comes from the expression "hair of the dog that bit you", meaning that the best cure for what ails you is to have some more of it. In ancient times it was literally used to say that if a dog were to bite you, putting the dog's hair into the wound would heal it. "Like cures like". This hangover remedy is not recommended because a) it leads to a bad habit of drinking during the day and b)it doesn't really work very well. Still, this method works about as well as most other hangover remedies.

Steve: Man, I'm really paying for all those keg stands I did last night.
Tony: Yeah, I'm hurting too. Hair of the dog?
Steve: Why not, man. We got a few beers left in the fridge.
