valid in context question

[JEWSKIN]

when doing a "breeder loan" is it kosher to refer to male snake as stud and female as the female dog would be called as they do in dog breeding? just asking thought I'd throw it out there

[Nate]

I think most folks use the word "Dame" and "Sire".

In dog breeding the male you are going to breed is called the stud, female is usually called a female dog and some oldtimers call females gyps. The parents off the offspring is sire and dam.

I hear dam and sire a lot, I don't think I've ever heard the female dog term used outside of dog breeding :/

Honestly,
I think any way you refer ppl are going to get it. sire, dame, a female dog, stud (heard moreso in horses) everyone will figure it out pretty quickly. I think its a preference issue.

I understand the urge! But b***h is used for dogs because that's the technical term for a female dog--just like an "ewe" is a female sheep, or a "hen" is a female chicken. So calling your dames "b***hes" would be nonsense in a breeding context--might as well call thems "cows", and the boys "bulls". (We are all going to end up with 30 billion new infractions as a result of this thread, aren't we?)

Personally, I reserve the term for when I'm feeling friendly towards my female snakes. Urban dictionary says it's a perfectly legit substitution in the phrase: "What's up, girl?"

Urban dictionary should come with a warning to use that substitute at your own risk. If someone decides urban dictionary says it's perfectly ok to substitute that word and I'm greeted that way - one is not going to like my reaction.
