As in someone calling you it

Unless said to a dog, then it's not likely to be a compliment

NoArmaniNoPunani · 09/08/2015 19:43

Well it's not polite

Boofy27 · 09/08/2015 19:44

It's not a greeting my friends and I use.

ShooBeeDooBeeDoo · 09/08/2015 19:45

Although my dog is very beautiful

Only1scoop · 09/08/2015 19:46

Yanbu

I think I'd be a tad insulted at Scoop you 'dogface'

Even though dogs are nice

What occurred?

mrsruffallo · 09/08/2015 19:48

My 16 yr old dn has started to greet me as 'Hello Dogface'.

AuntyMag10 · 09/08/2015 19:48

What do you reply to that?

Spartans · 09/08/2015 19:48

Totally depends on who said it, their relationship with you and what context

TheCowThatLaughs · 09/08/2015 19:48

The cheeky little fucker Shock

Only1scoop · 09/08/2015 19:49

Confused How rude

Spartans · 09/08/2015 19:50

At 16 I think you can get away with the reply 'hello twat face!'

Grin

But then my youngest cousin was a shit. He came in and told my dbro 'wow you got fat' he didn't appreciate my response.

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 09/08/2015 19:50

My bully's favourite nickname for me at school. No it's not nice, whatever the context.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 09/08/2015 19:50

It's rude.

But as I love my dogs faces it wouldn't last as an insult in my house.

mrsruffallo · 09/08/2015 19:50

The first time he did it I played again and growled, wagged my tail etc and everyone laughed. He carried on though and I told DSis to make him stop but Dsis says it's a funny way that he and his friends greet each other.

You wagged your tail?

Are you actually a dog?

Is this one of these weird thread people write from their dogs PoV?

AngieBolen · 09/08/2015 19:52

Yes, " Hello twat face" is definitely the correct response to that!

mrsruffallo · 09/08/2015 19:52

sorry, that sounds wierd, I made a joke of it PRETENDED to wag my taio etc but I think he loved making everyone laugh.

OP posts:
AngieBolen · 09/08/2015 19:53

How did you wag your tail? Do you actually have a tail? Confused

AngieBolen · 09/08/2015 19:53

Oh, OK, x-posted.

ShooBeeDooBeeDoo · 09/08/2015 19:54

Your niece says it to you? ????

Wrong wrong wrong.

I think I would have to reply with something withering (but I can't think of anything right now!)

It's better than dog breath.

Spartans · 09/08/2015 19:55

Ah I get it now Grin

So does he think you find it funny still?

At 16 you should tell him you don't like it, rather than your dsis. Especially since you took part in the joke the first time.
