    No. Dawg has evolved into a general corporate black slang term. (See Ice-T on SVU)

    If a Blood was the target of the hit, then the thread title still applies.

    From all reports an innocent neighborhood black man with no gang affiliation was murdered for no reason. You know, terrorism.

    The reported killers propaganda espoused violent local neighborhood patriotism and blind allegiance to their cult at the risk of death. They proudly displayed their symbols of loyalty, their appreciation and admiration of their second amendment rights and their cultural appreciation for their women folk.

    Sorry, I put you in the wrong reply. This is for you.

    The phrase man bites dog is a shortened version of an aphorism in journalism which describes how an unusual, infrequent event (such as a man biting a dog) is more likely to be reported as news than an ordinary, everyday occurrence with similar consequences, such as a dog biting a man. An event is usually considered more newsworthy if there is something unusual about it; a commonplace event is less likely to be seen as newsworthy, even if the consequences of both events have objectively similar outcomes. The result is that rarer events more often appear as news stories, while more common events appear less often, thus distorting the perceptions of news consumers of what constitutes normal rates of occurrence.

    Ah. I thought it was misuse of non-blue font. My apologies. Carry on.

    I was just trying to troll you into saying something racist, dawg.

    This has gone on long enough.

    Back in the day in the Post-Dispatch, "Man bites dog" was the first line of a headline on a story about Norm Stewart. Bernie Miklasz wrote the story, I think.

    True story, dog (dawg).

    So, if someone got a dawg and named it Cuzzo, it would be he canine version of A Boy Named Sue?
