Also "
dog walker". A homosexual male, usually (but not always) rather
effeminate. So called because of the greater-than-average percentage of gay males in the pet-care and pet-grooming industry, and the fairly common practice among gays as well as
straights of walking dogs at the park or other public place as a way of meeting people.
"Man, check out those two guys over there with the pink
poodles. What a couple of dogwalkers!"
"That sissy works for my
veterinarian. The job suits him perfectly-- he's a real
dogwalker."
