定義: A code-mixing term used by native Hong Kongers as a more abstract way of referring to a person's relationship status without a partner than emphasizing the physical body as ‘單身’ denotes in Cantonese. Even though 'dog' is seen as a derogatory term, the phrase is often treated as a common everyday joke than it is really mocking someone seriously.

用法: E.g. 無論班女仔fd幾大班，三個又好，五個又好，十幾個又好，都係得我係single dog (No matter how big my group of female friends is, three or five or ten, I am the single dog.)

同義詞: 單身狗
