trade dogs

There are two distinct definitions, or methods of trading dogs.

The adjective "trade dogs" comes from the early to mid high school years, where young children used code to define when they would like to swing their fists. It was often used as a threat to extort lunch money or prey on poor defenseless nerds, while slamming them upon the hard metal surface of a locker.

At this point in time, this term is used as a greeting, completely meaningless inside joke or meme between friends. In this respect, to trade dogs can mean anything from joining a raiding party in World of Warcraft, to hanging out and smoking weed. It is absolutely imperative to use CAPS when trading dogs in this manner.
Example 1
Bully: Hey punk.. wanna trade dogs?
Nerd: HAHAH what?
Bully: *swings at nerd*

Example 2
Tornizzle: YO MANG WANNA TRADE DOGZZZ?
Dwingo: YA WHAT YOU GOT
Tornizzle: I GOT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER
Dwingo: Okay um, where are we raiding dude?

Trading Up

In a sports stadium, 'trading' your crappy box seats for something a little closer to the action. Meaning, if there's nobody to trade the seat, why not just take it yourself?

Generally easy to do if a crappy team plays there because of the number of empty seats. It gets more difficult the better your team is, since the stadium will be close to sold out.

Sometimes involves dodging the wrath of particularly stern ushers. Also, if someone shows up with a ticket for your new seat, it's best to move.
There was nobody at list night's Tigers game, so I decided to do a little trading up. I left my crappy nosebleed section seat for a spot up close to the action.
