      You may need to reread the title.

    This is why you never see cool cats eating hotdogs. If they did, they’d annihilate.

    Cats and dogs have more in common than you think.

    For example, did you know that both cats and dogs have four legs? Yeah… There’s even more similarities, I hear…

      Ah, but what about their temperate varieties?

        Cats and dogs have a wide range of coats and body fat variance to help them adjust to whatever temperature they usually live in.

    It is…

    “Hotdogging” is showing off and trying to attract attention.

    It may have replaced “frankfurter” because the people selling them in stands were “hotdogging” as part of their sales pitch.

    So, instead of buying a “frankfurter” from a “hot dogger” people just started buying “hot dogs”.

    Not sure if that’s how it happened, but it tracks with how language evolves normally.

      So you’re saying this is Frank’s fault?

    Hotdogging is also a form of freestyle skiing where crashes are allowed if the recovery looks cool

      Damn, so hotdogging is cool catting.

    It’s like a double negative: a cool dog is the opposite of a hot dog, but a cool cat is the opposite of a cool dog, so you end up back where you started.

      But I’ve never loaded a cool cat up with relish and saurkraut.

      I guess I have new weekend plans.

    A hotdog would be the opposite of a cold cat. Or were you thinking of a warmdog?

    source
    • owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I haven’t touched a warmdog in years. Who says I have?

      • everett@lemmy.ml ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        They.

    Wait, you are disturbingly right about this.

    How could we have overlooked this!?
