What is a slang word for feet?
Dogs, as a slang word for feet, is in question. One member asked that the question be referenced. I can only do so through personal experience. As a 73-year-old woman, I heard the term used often in my yonger days. Always, as I recollect, the term dogs was used to express how your feet felt after a long day of shopping. For example: "Whew, my dogs are barking!" I was around when pointed toe shoes made their appearance in the 50s and perhaps it was those foot killers that inspired women to use that expression.

Perhaps, the word was coined by Runyon himself.
