Prairie dogging (verb),
any of a genus (Cynomys) of gregarious burrowing rodents of the squirrel family chiefly of central and western U.S. plains
especially : a black-tailed rodent (C. ludovicianus) that usually lives in extensive colonial office spaces.
Definition: to pop up like a prairie dog in an office setting and look around the room from ones cubicle for a few seconds. Often done at near simultaneous times by other employees (prairie dogs) in said environment. Looks similar to skill based games where one attempts to smash down the prairie dogs with a padded hammer.
I was prairie dogging at work from my cubicle and I saw the some guy pat the boss on his butt and the boss winked back.
v. The act of pooping a little bit on accident so that the poop gets stuck between your buttcheecks; similar to a prairie dog poking its head out of a hole in the ground.
"Oh, dude I'm totally prairie doggingright now."
"Man, do we need to go back home so you can change?"
"Every time I'm around Joe I smell poop. I think he's prairie dogging!"
Logging into a social networking site such as Facebook or MySpace just long enough to check for updates before immediately logging back out. Usually done to prevent a boss, spouse, or child from observing your activities.
Sorry, can't chat right now. Just prairie dogging it so the boss doesn't catch me using Facebook on office time.
