DOGGO

What Does Doggo Mean?

Doggo means "Dog."

The term doggo is a slang word that simply means "dog." It is part of a phenomenon called "DoggoLingo" or "Doggo-speak," that is supposed to be a simple, upbeat, joyful, and friendly way of speaking. For example:

• Jo: Terri's doggo has had the cutest puppies.
• Sam: We already have 3 doggos. We haven't got room for another.

• Lee: Are you going to the store later?
• Ali: I thought you went earlier. Did you forget to buy food for the doggo?
• Lee: No, of course I remembered the dog food! I forgot just about everything else.

DoggoLingo has words to describe all sorts of dogs. For example:

• Pupper - a puppy or a small dog.
• Pupperino - a puppy.
• Floof - a fluffy dog.
• Fluffer - a fluffy dog.
• Long Boi - a long dog.
• Woofer - a large dog.

Why are Doggos so popular now?

Since memes began, people have agreed that cats ruled the internet. However, since 2016, the internet has gone to the dogs! This is largely due to popular memes and social media profiles dedicated to dogs. The Twitter account WeRateDogs, which has millions of followers, rates dogs and insists that every dog is a "good boy" and has a rating of over 10 out of 10. The phrase "We don't deserve dogs" is popular in many internet posts, which share pictures explaining why dogs are too precious for this world.
