A hotdog is the opposite of a cool cat.
A hotdog should be the opposite of a cool cat, but it's not.

You may need to reread the title.

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.

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

Wait, you are disturbingly right about this.
How could we have overlooked this!?

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.

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.

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