eat the dog

Being in an extreme situation, so extreme that one is forced to eat the family dog and/or family members.

"They ran through the woods, for many nights, haunted by demons and other creatures of the night, in near panic, stopping only for the occasional piss. Steve was spared, but in desperation, Toto had to go."

"We had to _eat the dog_ on that excursion!"

eating your own dog food

To use one's own product or service. Originally applied to software companies using their own software in-house, the meaning can extend to any situation that might impose some burden on customers, clientele, constituency, co-workers, etc.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) proposed an amendment requiring members of Congress and their staffs to buy health insurance on the exchanges they are setting up, forcing lawmakers to get insurance the same way some of their constituents will. In some circles, this is known as "eating your own dog food."

A (historical) example of -not- eating your own dog food would be Microsoft developers using IBM's OS/2 operating system while developing Windows software because it was more stable than their own operating system (Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 at the time).

We eat our own dog-food

This is a fairly new expression used in business and it means that we do what we say you should do.

If we teach that you should create a business plan each year and we follow our own teachings; then "we eat our own dog-food."

Hotter than a fag eating a corn dog!

Oilfield slang often shortened to "that's hot", making fun of both Paris Hilton and the victim at the same time. Meaning something that is so ridiculously stupid or asinine that it is almost unfathomable.

You: That fucking moron just drove off without releasing his trailer brakes.
Me: That is hotter than a fag eating a corn dog!
