What is what does it mean to dog walk someone?

It implies a power imbalance where one person is clearly superior and easily overcomes the other. It can also describe consistently and effortlessly outperforming someone.

The term likely originates from the imagery of a dog walker effortlessly controlling a dog on a leash, suggesting the person being "dog walked" has no control and is being led around against their will. The term is often used online in situations where someone believes they have completely won an argument or debate.

  • Domination: It indicates a clear and decisive victory.
  • Humiliation: The person being "dog walked" is often made to look foolish or incompetent.
