Translation: "My feet are tired."

I'm uncertain of its origin. I started hearing this phrase around 2002 or so from different people, then it was used by one of the soldiers in "Half Life: Opposing Force"

I originally took this to mean "I gotta take a DUMP!" But have been proven wrong , apparently. Nonetheless I still prefer my interpretation.

The Dogs Were Barking

Share definition
An excuse for anything, whether someone lost in a game or did something stupid, it can be used whenever. No dogs have to be present nor does anything play part in the mishap, it is simply a phrase meant to be used when you want to make an excuse or a defense for something. Originated from Simi Valley
