This is how you end up with a generation of kids who grow up using “rawdog” to mean something other than “unprotected sex”. Just talk to your kids about sex.
In a sexual context, having sex without protection. In conversational context, it pretty much means with no support or accessories. So her “raw dogging” a bus ride means no music/entertainment, she’s just going to have to look out the window or something.

Please explain like I’m 5, and a non-native speaker, what “rawdog” means 🧐
Fuck without condom.
You are not five.
Thanks pal. You’re right about me not being 5 of course. No idea how one would ELI5 that anyway.
Trying to make a baby instead of just a mommy and daddy special hug?
Thank you, I’m going to go repeat this in front of my teacher and tell them I heard it from my parents.
Literal Eli5: “it’s a slang term that some people use, but it isn’t something you should worry about right now. It’s meant for adults”
Since I’m becoming a father soon, I started learning responses like this

Not at 5 years old! Absolutely not.
Omg the downvotes, people are not ready to have open educational conversations with their kids or am I missing something?
Just in case you really needed an answer.

Not just without protection, also without lube or foreplay of any kind. That’s an important distinction.
Specifically, “raw” is rather obvious - meaning unprepared, as in to not use a condom
But the dog part comes from a more sinister usage where to “dog someone out” was to “pimp someone out” - ie coerce someone into sex work.

Pretty sure I was hearing rawdog in the late 80’s or early 90’s.
