Doggolingo: A Guide to the Internet's Favorite Language

What is DoggoLingo?

It’s a unanimous cutesy internet language that we hoomans use to verbalize our best friend’s thoughts. It’s a grey area between English and dog-speak with a little bit of onomatopoeia sprinkled in. It is a fun, silly language, and there’s no wrong way to speak it! If you ever watch a popular video of a dog online, you will most likely see some of this silly lingo in the comments.

It is also very commonly used in videos or pictures of dogs, often written using the font “Comic Sans,” which makes it even better. Dogs are doggos, frens, or woofers, dogs with fluffy coats like Samoyeds are floofs or floofers, and corgis are corgos. Then there’s longbois, thicc canines, boofers, smol doggos, fluffers, and pupperinos doing an awoo. Many of these words can be used for animals in general, too, not just doggos! (Snakes = “danger noodles”)
