To be fair, Tony was having a bit of fun and wanted to be “cheeky.” 🤣

And us remnants of The Silent Generation had to look up the term “rawdogging”:

That's an unexpected mental image

I'd be inclined to tell CBS that Tony Dokoupil was "rawdogging" that broadcast.

All legacy media has lost credibility support independent sources that are taking the risks to report truth especially now.

Legacy media has people who verify what they report whereas independent reporters have no system of verification and I don't trust them.

President Biden traveled back & forth across the world 2 keep the world from blowing up then went & had a 90 min. debate that set everyone's hair on fire. No mention of 45s gish gallop @ the debate. Everyone jumped on board & the coup via media began 2 remove the most successful administrations.

Rawdog is still probably better than a Rawdoge though any day.

Ffs, they're describing a term used by today's teens. Give it a break maga

Ewwww

I find this more palatable than trump's "rawdogging" the Presidency

By "rawdogging" they made a good choice. Let's hope that Pope Leo XIV is able to follow on from Pope Francis. He seems to have made a good start.

Sloppy Seconds Pope

They are used to use that word, just not in that context.

"A good friend of mine was once in a pretty serious auto accident with a member of the clergy." "Rector?" "Heck, damn near killed her!"

Conclussy?

Tony rawdogged Katie and now they have kids. That's proper usage.

I thought that might merit an "oh myyyy". 😁

😂 oh the media

100 to 1 there might be a translation issue, but funny how AI works n'est-ce pas?

Eh. People are so humorless these days. It was at most a mildly amusing gaffe. Not the end of the world.

Who called it the end of the world? One example of someone in this thread responding to it entirely without humor, if you please?

The writer either doesn't understand the word or is incompetent in analogy use.

How very Catholic. Their views are the only legitimate views. The rest of the world is supposed to genuflect because they're putting on a "ceremonial" event. "Rawdogging" sounds like precisely the right word in this context. You can have your own views, but not your own language.

It's not the vulgarity, it's that it doesn't have any connection to not using technology- that I am aware of. I'm old, has the slang shifted??

Yeah, there was a recent thing about guys—and it was exclusively guys—doing entire flights without devices, books, magazines, whatever. Apparently staring straight ahead, alone with their thoughts, though the plural there may be generous.

And that's also called rawdogging? ok If the term has come to be widely used with that interpretation, that makes his use "not very professional," but at least comprehensible. Because, ONLY knowing the more vulgar interpretation - I was like "WTF did he say is happening right now in the Vatican?"🤣

It was part of the discourse for a few days, but even if you’re terminally online and knew that reference, it was a poor choice.

Wow. I just call it "using my imagination." Weird.

The outrage shows the generational difference within the conversation as well as that more people need to get over themselves. I bet most of them are only "Christmas/Easter Catholics".

Thought it was going to say “sausage fest.”

It’s “Abstaining”…. Krazy Konservative Kolonial’s used a “Freudian” slip because that’s what they ALL are…

oops... 🤣 (Though I will admit I'd not seen the term used for its' NSFW meaning, just people doing things in the most boring way possible, which doesn't seem as thrilling!)

Yeah.. me and one of my boys were laughing at the rawdogging description 😂

I lol'd.

I’m kind of disappointed you didn’t say “that’s one way to put it”

It started with a stupid article in the atlantic or something? About people flying without technology and calling it that a couple years ago. All us gen xers commented uh no let's not call it that.

showing retro is back in style, legends! 😁

Americans … 🙄

Always practice safe conclaving, but then they are Catholics so...

I'm DYING to know what planet these people live on nowadays? 😳🤦🏼

Don’t watch CBS morning show after Tony Dokopol went after Ta-Nehisi Coates in an interview and definitely after Gayle King went up into space with Bezos’ girlfriend.

🤭

That bearded chap has seen a thing or two

Ohhh Myyyyyy!

Why does it have to secret?

I’m a boomer and even I knew what that meant.

Okay, teehee, but I'm more baffled by people being fascinated about not having access to a phone. I can't use electronics on one of my far northern flights, but I have this thing called an imagination. It's free, portable, doesn't need charging, and lightweight. Pretty innovative stuff.

After Tony Dokoupil's treatment of Ta Nehisi Coates, I hope he's more than embarrassed.

I don't even know what NSFW means. Googling...

Not Safe for Work.

So I see. As a Catholic (liberal) I'm torn whether I should laugh at "rawdogging" or be highly insulted. 🤔

Yes

🤔

Be insulted by the clergy that is rawdogging kids...

I am. More should be done, and faster. There are pedophiles in every aspect of life. Teachers, parents, evangelicals, on and on. Not just priests, and I do get insulted that it's a horrible stereotype of Catholicism.

Yes there most certainly can be, but you'll note that the others you mentioned don't have one of the oldest and still quite powerful organisations actively doing everything in there power to perfect them... kind of an important distinction there.

I stand by my comment.

Of course you do, why admit the false equivalency there? It's not like the church is actively enabling pedophilia while the others aren't. It's like saying not just cops beat thier wives, while the cops are actively protecting cops who do.

Uuummmm 😬

Probably shouldn't, though

WHAT. 🤣

Really cringe clickbait.

How is this news? I’m sure when Francis was chosen it was the same then. Useless information

The all-time winner for 'I don't think that means what you think it means'.

Was gonna say that as well!

Well..it does give "sexting" new meaning. (sexton- sexting- get it?)

😂😂😂😂😂

Learn something new every day. Glad I haven’t used it yet when I shouldn’t.🤣😂🤣

OMG!
