Aha! I have already caught it now, I think. Very clear. Thanks a lot, mates! I 've found more examples: § Imagine that you’re a bored, single, plain-looking, lonely school- teacher who still lives at home. You’re 29 and in 1955 that’s like being 40. You’re at a dance and the guy your girlfriend has tried to set you up with has just ditched you. In tears, you think to yourself “I must be a dog”. And then just in the nick of time, a sweet, heavy-set fellow (a butcher) asks you to dance. As you confess that you have been crying a lot and that you’ve been stood up one too many times, he leans in closer and says: “You don’t get to be good hearted by accident, you get kicked around enough, you get to be a real Professor of Pain. I know exactly how you feel. And I also want you to know that I’m having a very good time with you right now and I’m really enjoying myself – You’re not such a dog as you think you are.” Who wouldn’t fall in love with this guy? (unattrative, pathetic, not cool..) § "I still have my days when I wake up and look at myself and think, You're such a dog. And I have to work so hard at talking positively to myself. ...(not cool,pathetic..) § Do you think you guys can get back together? Mike:, I don't know. There's plenty of fish out there in the sea. Ryan:, Oh, you're such a dog! ...(cheeky, scoundrel, rascal, naughty..) § "But why is she so pretty, and you’re such a dog?" I was still of an age where I thought all questions required an answer of some sort, but the query was one I myself pondered relentlessly. So I shrugged, and continued rubbing powdered soap into my raw, red hands. (unattractive in regard with appearance. plain-looking?) Maybe there are more meanings for this expressions…I don't know. See you!
