词源 4
From dog (“part of a crane that holds the items to be lifted”) + -er, from the fact that such a person would often ride on the load lifted by the crane when carrying out their duty. Created as a gender-neutral substitute for the older term dogman.
词源 5
dog + -er but using this suffix playfully in a way it is not normally used; essentially just a nonsense substitution of syllable -er where the diminutive suffixes -o or -ie or -y would normally stand, while also facetiously construable as the agent noun for being a dog, if to dog meaning to be a dog were a unitary English verb: thus, the agent noun would denote one who exhibits dogness.
