Get the doghorse mug.When you've fucked up and pissed of your wife/girlfriend or whomever, you go buy some expensive roses, shower, shave, and put on a clean shirt, and show up at the offended party's house or apt., with the appropriate hangdog expression and present her with said roses, and ask forgiveness, and try to convincingly promise never to do it again. If you're lucky and she's sweeter than your dogass deserves, she'll accept the roses, invite you in, and you'll have hot makeup sex. From a collection of short stories of the same name by musician Steve Earle.
Wife's sister: "You stupid piece of shit, you've really pissed her off this time. If she kicks your sorry ass out, you richly deserve it!
You: "I know, I know. Do you think she'll accept this expensive bottle of wine and bouquet of doghouse roses?
Wife's sister: "I wouldn't but she might."

Get the doghouse roses mug.Related Words
More commonly known as unicorns. They're a group of introverted horses in a cult that wear rainbow colored corn dogs taped to their heads. The reason why we never see them is because their religion is against all human interaction and once they do contact humans their corn dogs are taken away and they're forced to live as normal horses. So basically a conspiracy theory about the existence of unicorns.

- Denial - Thinking that your wife or girlfriend will be ok when you finally decide to come home.
- Bargaining - After you have been ignored for a period of time (days / hours depending on the severity of the incident), you may try to bargain to get out of the dog-house early. It is a normal reaction, but most try to do this too early. Better to ride it out.
- Spending - Rational thinking on your part that this has gone on long enough and a willingness to spend money on your partner to get over it.
- Relapse - When bargaining and spending are unsuccessful, you may decide to go on another bender, or perform the same bad behaviour.

Get the Doghouse mug.What do you do with a bad dog? You make them sleep outside in the small, cold, doghouse.
