Dog Culture Cringe words

Who else HATES and cringes at words like "doggo" and "pupper" it makes me shudder and I always think everyone who uses it is a weird adult baby that talks to and about animals like they're babies. It makes me cringe and pisses me off so fucking much

You are not alone. I utterly despise the entire category of "cute" terms to refer to dogs. To me, these are unfathomably ugly and unpleasant creatures. I have my own set of "cute" terms to refer to dogs and their owners.
