Who's the new dog biscuit?

Someone trying to degrade a boy? What it could be synonym for this definition?

Thanks in advance,

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thank you all.
Cilian O'Tuama Sep 14, 2020:
I agree with Tony Dogs are known to be 'attracted' to postmen/delivery men. So he's just asking who the new delivery boy is. Not necessarily degrading. Someone trying to be funny/witty maybe.
S.J (asker) Sep 14, 2020:
The boy was shaking from cold. If that relevant.
Yvonne Gallagher Sep 14, 2020:
A treat for the dogs after all as they nip at his legs LOL
Catharine Cellier-Smart Sep 14, 2020:
I agree with Tony
Tony M Sep 14, 2020:
@ Asker I also suspect it is a simple as the fact that the delivery boy (like the post-person) is likely to be the one who gets bitten by dogs when delivering — possibly even figuratively, in the sense that they get caught carrying the drugs!
philgoddard Sep 14, 2020:
This is clearly a slang term for the delivery boy, so the meaning is clear even if the choice of words isn't.
Both "dog biscuit" and "delivery boy" begin with the same letters. Also, "dog biscuit" sounds a bit like "dogsbody", meaning someone who performs menial tasks.
S.J (asker) Sep 14, 2020:
He is just a random man actually who has people smoking weed in his small apartment. He doesn't seem to like the boy. The boy looks relatively innocent. He didn't know that he delivers weed with his fellow.
Yvonne Gallagher Sep 14, 2020:
@ Asker context not clear yet. Who is the man in relation to the delivery boy? His boss? And does he say this to the boy, calling him this or asking him about someone else?
Based on the fact that "dog biscuit" is a treat I would suggest "who's the pretty boy? Who's the good-looking fellow"? implying that he may be too pretty to do any work OR that the only people he could appeal to would be dogs.
S.J (asker) Sep 14, 2020:
Sorry, he is new delivery boy, the man who looked vicious asked the boy fellow, who looked familiar to him "Who's the new dog biscuit?" The conversation ended here, without any further exchanges. Thank you all.
Yvonne Gallagher Sep 14, 2020:
@ Asker 3 people have already asked for context. I'm No 4. This could be read in several ways depending exactly on what is happening. Basically a dog biscuit is a treat FOR DOGS and the most well-known brand is Bonio so Urban dictionary is suggesting that it could be a "boner" (erection/hard-on) https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dog biscuit
Catharine Cellier-Smart Sep 14, 2020:
Biscuit dog? It *could* be a mistake for "Biscuit dog" (see https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Biscuit Dog) but as previous commenters have mentioned, more context is definitely needed. In no way is this a widely-known term.
Charlotte Fleming Sep 14, 2020:
I agree with Tony M: it needs more context to make any sense.
Tony M Sep 14, 2020:
@ Asker Impossible to tell without the surrounding context? What is the situation; what is happening, who is speaking; to whom?
