When. employees who work in cubicles stand up and look around, to see what's happening -- typically in response to some kind of unexpected sound. Visually, this resembles how Prairie Dogs look, when they pop up from their underground tunnels to see what's happening above ground.
As I walked into the office, I noticed everyone prairie dogging to catch a glimpse of the commotion.

"Hungy or not"
The phrase first began in Canada, where the action of eating a prairie dog was looked at as a desperate act, that one would only commit if they were insanely hungry, whereas being willing to go out and search out a harbor porpoise (although at the time, the split between a harbor porpoise and a normal porpoise wasn’t super well known, plus harbor porpoise or prairie dog sounds stupid) took a long time, so you wouldn’t want to be hungry.

When something loud happens in an office with an "open floor plan" and everyone's heads pops up over their cubicle dividers to see what's going on, like a bunch of prairie dogs.
Did you guys see when John suddenly dropped that whole tray of coffees and everyone was prairie dogging like mad to see what was going on?
