What is dog food slang for

As you've probably noticed, the slang synonyms for "term" are listed above. Note that due to the nature of the algorithm, some results returned by your query may only be concepts, ideas or words that are related to "term" (perhaps tenuously). This is simply due to the way the search algorithm works.

You might also have noticed that many of the synonyms or related slang words are racist/sexist/offensive/downright appalling - that's mostly thanks to the lovely community over at Urban Dictionary (not affiliated with Urban Thesaurus). Urban Thesaurus crawls the web and collects millions of different slang terms, many of which come from UD and turn out to be really terrible and insensitive (this is the nature of urban slang, I suppose). Hopefully the related words and synonyms for "term" are a little tamer than average.

The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary. These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.

Due to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. bae). Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results.

There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it.

It is fine to feed a dog fruit, as long as its main meal is a well- balanced dogfood.

Oddly enough, he is not particularly fond of dogfood.

The report by dogfood firm Iams found many unhappy and badly fed pets.

She doesn't like dogfood, but she loves human food.

Dogfood is an expression that means to use the product or service that you are trying to sell.

Dogfood can be used as a noun, as in the sentence, "A company that eats its own dog food sends the message that it considers its own products to be the best on the market."  Or it can be used as a verb, as in the sentence, "We need to dogfood this product before we roll it out to the public."

The expression was inspired by an advertising campaign for commercial dog food from the 1970s where actor Lorne Greene told consumers "And when it comes to feeding my own dog, I know there isn't a better dog food than Alpo." The message to the consumer was that the product spokesman thought Alpo was so good that he used it himself.

According to Paul Vick, Microsoft's tech lead for Visual Basic Development, dogfood is part of the company culture at Microsoft because:1) It proves to customers that Microsoft believes in their products.2) It helps flush out bugs, because dogfooding involves beta (or pre-beta) software.3) It makes Microsoft employees suffer the same bugs and design flaws that they inflict on users, thereby providing incentive to fix them.4) It's a valuable reality check that the product is actually as good as Microsoft says it is.5) Because Microsoft is such a large company, dogfooding an enterprise-level product can flush out problems that could not otherwise be found prior to full-scale rollout at launch.

6) It allows Microsoft developers to learn how their products actually work, which may not be exactly how developers think they work.
