is it ok to name a dog "motherf*#ker?" (i mean does the dog know)

It's ok if you're comfortable calling the dog home by that name. Our dog is named Negrita, after a great dog we met in Nicaragua, but you can bet we only use -'grita- when yelling for her in our neighborhood.

Thanks for your reply, dano.

This was a hypothetical question. I don't have a dog. But I'm not happy with having posted this because it implies that I have already named a dog by this name.

Can this thread somehow be saved? Can there be redemption?

Of course it can.

Last summer, there was a gangbanger and his white girlfriend standing my neighbor's car yelling, "Here, bitch. Come on, bitch. Get the fuck over here, bitch."

He wasn't yelling at the girl, but at a microscopic chihuahua, who had hid under the car -- probably from being yelled at. Apparently, he'd named the dog "Bitch".

There's more, but it makes me look like a prick, and perhaps a racist. Suffice to say I embarrassed him into taking his potty mouth elsewhere.

there was a gangbanger

You've seen him in a porno? How the hell do you remember individual, uh, members in a gangbang?

Got a press release today for a book called How to Meditate with Your Dog.

Om, Motherfucker. Om.

Just try not to name your dog Dog or your cat Cat. That is usually lazy. This is also true of Dogg and Katt.

How to Meditate with Your Dog.

You can tell I'm with the media because I have an incredibly large camera.

Just try not to name your dog Dog or your cat Cat.

My sister's cat was named Pussy, she was a longhair calico if you must know.

I once dreamt I had a cat named "Dog".

Frisbee, your dreams are excellent.

I really dug your story about your recurring dream.

A friend named his cat Shitfoot, after its first significant action (a Native American tradition, he BSed). They called him Shiitake around company, Shitty in private.

Pretty good cat, really. Not shitty at all.

I once had a cat named Dog.

OK, I didn't have an actual cat named dog, but my hunter in World of Warcraft had a cat named Dog. I was halfway through a Scholomance run once when one of my raid members said "Ha, Dog, that's funny."

I had a friend who had a cat named "Mouse". It was a very small grey cat.

I thought all dogs were named motherf*#ker.

Less funny when there have been gunshots outside your house.

You're holier-then-me then.

Actually, I think "gangbanger" is a wholly inappropriate word for the press to coopt as they have, since it already had a very explicit meaning. Then again, I must have a baaaaaaad sense of humor. Or maybe it's you.

By "the press" I mean "people everywhere" and by "-then-" I mean "-than-."
