In The Doghouse

Somewhere you don't want to be. When one's partner is displeased with them for one or more reasons (with the exception of women who can be pissed off with a man for no reason whatsoever).

When your partner won't speak to you or look at you. Most will stay here for between 1-7 days until their partner has calmed down or got over their PMS, PMT, general bad mood, or their angry reaction to your unacceptable behaviour (drinking binge etc). Symptoms are :

- Self-Acceptance - that you are on the way there. You could probably stop now and be ok, but you don't want to. For example, if you were drinking for 2 days, you may as well stay out for 3 or 4.
- Denial - Thinking that your wife or girlfriend will be ok when you finally decide to come home.
- Bargaining - After you have been ignored for a period of time (days / hours depending on the severity of the incident), you may try to bargain to get out of the dog-house early. It is a normal reaction, but most try to do this too early. Better to ride it out.
- Spending - Rational thinking on your part that this has gone on long enough and a willingness to spend money on your partner to get over it.
- Relapse - When bargaining and spending are unsuccessful, you may decide to go on another bender, or perform the same bad behaviour.
- Remorse - Feeling that you have done something wrong. Very rare and is only applicable is less than 0.001% of doghouse incidents.

It can be rated on a scale of 1-5.

1 - Cosmetic (1 day stint in doghouse)
2 - Minor (2-3 days)
3 - Major (4-5 days)
4 - Severe(6-7 days)
5 - Epic (Over 7 days) - This is generally considered more than doghouse material and more like a shithouse

1. Often thought of as a figurative place where boyfriends and husbands end up when they are on bad terms with there girlfriend or wife. The reality is the doghouse is a super dope place where guys that are in trouble go to have a real solid time away from their significant other. It is the best version of a man cave with all of a man's best friends present that he can escape to when in hot water with their significant other. In general, there is usually lots of beer there.

2. Snoop Dogg's place of residence

What do you do with a bad dog? You make them sleep outside in the small, cold, doghouse.

Putting someone in the "doghouse" is to shame, humiliate, and cut them off from everything and everyone else. The same way a dog is cut off from everything when they're forced outside, and have nowhere left to sleep but their dog house.

Where you are figuratively when you're on bad terms with your girlfriend or wife.

A place with no sex.

The loud and dedicated fan base of the Northeastern University Huskies, particularly, but not limited to Men's hockey. Never deterred by fickle seasons, the Doghouse faithful are dedicated to cheering on the Husky team, while keeping cheers clean and classy, a rarity in Hockey East, and college hockey in general. The Doghouse has grown to take over the upper bowl of their home, historic Matthews Arena. They also tend to be the loudest and most cohesive group of fans at the annual Beanpot, and bring large groups of fans to all away games.
