英文释义
名词 n.
-
A dog bred to hunt wild pigs, typically based on breeds such as Staffordshire Terrier and English Bull Terrier.
— The pig-dogs are of rather a mongrel breed, partaking largely of the bull-dog, but mixed with the cross of mastiff and greyhound, which forms the New South Wales kangaroo-dog.
-
A contemptible or worthless person.
— He proceeded to call Heyst many names, of which ‘pig-dog’ was not the worst, with such vehemence that he actually choked himself.
-
A stance used for surfing tubes on one’s backhand. The surfer crouches low over a bent front knee, back leg extending back, outside hand holding onto the outside rail, and inside arm extended upwards touching the face of the wave as a guide (or digging in to slow down).
— The trick here is to do a so-called “pig-dog”. Standing sideways on your board with your back to the wave you will stall by twisting forward (in relation to the tip of your board) shoulder back, and using the arm belonging to it, drag your hand in the water. At the same time your rear hand grabs just behind the outside rail just somewhere near your forward foot. Now look at yourself and you will know why it is called a ‘pig-dog’.
动词 v.
-
To surf in the pig dog stance.
— Pig dogging from the take-off is easier than surfing along the wave, lining up a section, grabbing the rail and setting up the tube.
