Don't dog the boys

Am absolutely meaningless word salad used by victims of manipulation when someone breaks free from the cult and starts to call their horrendous actions out
I told my homegirl about her boyfriend's horrendous actions. She believed me but when tried to confront him, everyone just told me "don't dog the boys". Don't ask me what the fuck that's supposed to mean but, while we're here, let's make it clear that group wanking in the Hungry Jack's bathroom does not count as employment!!!
