walkie

Rfv-sense: An outing for a dog, to exercise the dog, and allow the dog to evacuate their bladder and/or rectum. Is this corroborated in actual usage? --Robbie SWE (talk) 17:56, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

I think it's always pluralized (and we already have this sense at walkies). DTLHS (talk) 18:00, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Please change the ridiculous rectum evacuation bit :) Equinox ◑ 20:36, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

• 2008, J. F. Englert, A Dog Among Diplomats, Random House, page 229:

  The question is completed by a word—usually made silly and embarrassing—that suggests that the dog will understand only a childish version of the actual word. In the case of walk, this word is walkie.

• 2013, Michele Hanson, Absolutely Barking, Simon and Schuster, page ?:

  Most dog walkers have a routine of sorts, so they take their dog for a walkie at a particular time of day.

  She shared a particularly adorable video captioned, “all the kisses. happy fall.”, that shows Myron wriggling around on the couch during an after-walkie snuggling session.

The first quotation is, admittedly, a mention.  --Lambiam 06:06, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

I have added some more, one a bit mention-y and one clearly not a mention, so I am calling this cited. Kiwima (talk) 12:50, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
