bird-dog

(verb) To engage in the relentless pursuit of an objective or goal, often involving the accomplishment of tasks through other, less expedient people. This includes obsessive follow-up, nagging, and harrassment of individuals holding up the accomplishment of the goal. Comes from a reference to pointer dog breeds that serve as loyal hunting dogs, leading the way to the fallen fowl.

"I had to bird-dog Larry all day to get him to sign that damn contract."

He said: "I'm so frustrated. I called two days ago, and still...no response from customer service."
She replied: "Oh yeah, you have to bird-dog those guys daily to get anything done. They're totally swamped."

bird-dog

In football, the expression used to describe when a quarterback stares down receivers before throwing to them. The term is used because a hunting dog will become fixated on the target bird and never take his eyes off of him. This is extremely frowned upon since it tips off the defenders and could result in horrible hits on your receivers.

"Most rookie NFL quarterbacks have to work on not bird-dogging their receivers or they will get their pass-catchers killed."

To bird-dog something is to complete a task using a slightly dodgy or unorthodox method.

I had to "bird-dog" it.

An example of bird-dogging it would be an electrician climbing on a live switchboard to get to a cable, j-boxing a cable in a wall cavity, shorting out a circuit in order to identify the right breaker or setting up a ladder on the back of your ute to reach reach higher

Bird-Dog

When a male has mounted his partner and is thrusting his penis into the partners mouth, he removes said penis and moves it wildly from one side of the face to the other. The receiving partner then wildly follows the penis with his or her head trying to catch it. Imagine a dog trying to catch a bird.

As an extra note, the slapping of the face, cheek, and chin with the penis is acceptable/encouraged.

Playa 1: Did you hook up with that girl last night?
Playa 2: You bet your ass I did. I bird-dogged her for half an hour.

Dude, Sally was such a slut last night. She straight up wanted the bird-dog while I was fucking her from behind.

Bird-dog

Aight I only went through page 1 but I haven't seen the definition I'm used to. In construction, bird-dogging is when you stand there watching someone work while doing fuck all yourself. Usually the bird-dog is a safety guy doing an audit or a foreman with nothing better to do. If you're unlucky, it's the supernintendo looking for a reason to turf your ass. I learned this in scaffolding and ironworking. There are ways to let your boys know you got eyes on you, such as calling for a 7 foot tube. You can also get creative and come up with your own codes though. Don't get caught doing stupid shit out there and always ALWAYS tie off.

Ground guy: "7 foot tube!"

Translation: " we got us a fuckin bird-dog guys"

Crew lead: "wtf don't you got tags to recertify? Why you gotta sit there and bird-dog us the whole time between first coffee and lunch?"

Foreman: "paperwork go brrrrrr lol"
