naw⋅dog nah dawg, interjection - An unsatisfactory but widely ignored verbal response used by US Marine Reservists (particulalry of N "Nacho" Btry 5/14 Marines, Pico Rivera, CA) to express reluctance towards an assigned task. Used interchangeably with, "negative," though the speaker must use very careful judgement when choosing who to respond, "nawdog" to. Nawdog should never be said to Staff NCO's or above except to intentionally lose stripes. Often used to avoid doing someone a favor or extend a nap.
