Dogging

I hear a term I have never heard before, and I just have to know what it means. Today's slang term; dogging. So what does it mean? Turns out it's a two-fer. Let's go to to the Urban Dictionary for a look.

The first definition is:

(British) The act of having sex in a public place, especially in parks.

Ah, yes. I see. (I actually picked the cleanest version of it I could find.)

But if that's the first, what could possibly be...

In Warcraft III, (either Reign of Chaos or Frozen Throne), the practice of, when playing the Orc race, to select the Far Seer as the first hero and repeatedly "hero rush" the opponent's base using summoned Spirit Wolves to attack, usually targeting the workers (orc peons, human peasants, night-elf wisps, or undead acolytes).

More geeky? Classic. I am glad to know that the term was held over between, uh, Reign of Chaos, and Frozen Throne. Or vice versa.

Never has a single word been used for more clearly disparate purposes.

Funny, I've heard that word used in two other completely different contexts--doggin that is. One is to basically not be putting the effort into something, being lazy. The other is more in terms of rodeo lingo where it means to take out or put away. Funny.
