dog-whistley

Adj. Used to describe questions asked to one seeking entrance to a fringe group/political cult. A dog-whistley question lets true believers know it's time to talk about the hard core stuff. "Samantha" on WEB OF MAKE BELIEVE (Episode 3, "I'm Not a Nazi") used this phrase to describe the way white supremacist group, Identity Europe, delicately asked her about "the Jewish Question."

These skinheads were asking me these dog-whistley questions about other races and then I realized they wanted to recruit me.

Let awake dogs tell the truth

Good advice, but how could the sleeping ones even say anything, untruthful or otherwise?

Saying, "Let awake dogs tell the truth" makes no more sense than verbally allowing them to fib while snoozing: dogs can't talk in any case, as we all know, and so they could not tell "lies" in any alertness-state --- i.e., whether they are asleep or up and around.

Wool-dog

A 'wool-dog' is a girl or guy who possess many negative character traits inherent in toxic people, but superficially seems to be nice.

The term mostly concerns appearance, as visually a wool-dog will look deceptively benign and disarming, but in fact has the personality of a viper.

This contrasts with toxic personalities that visually and behaviorally signal themselves from a distance, or genuinely nice and benign people who look dangerous and/or trouble.

Related to the term "a wolf in sheep's clothing".

Guy 1: "I'm kinda into Cindy, she looks so nice and sweet!"

Guy2: "Nah bro, she's a wool-dog."
