请解释一下,为什么这是一个笑话?谢谢!

今天看到了这个消息,迪奥为了中国新年准备了这种红包,但是不明白为什么是好笑的。请帮我一下,谢谢!


解释:if 狗 is used to describe a person, it usually has a negative meaning. eg: 狗奴才,狗腿子,狗东西,狗屎,etc. So Chinese people try to avoid use 狗 in most occasions just to not to have misunderstanding. Even if you are a dog owner, you don't want to say 我的狗 because it doesn't sound positive. You might want to say 我的狗狗 if you are a girl. You can say 我的小狗 in general。You can directly say 我的拉布拉多labrador,我的泰迪Teddy,我的金毛golden retriever,我的哈士奇husky。All in all, you just don't want to say 狗。

Dior should use ”狗年大吉“ in stead of ”狗“。

I think it may have two reasons 1.单身狗=single dog,it always uses to describe piteous and envy lovers's single people .2.dog is a bad adj word in China,such as 狼心狗肺、狗急跳墙、鸡飞狗跳、猪狗不如、狗眼看人低、狗咬吕洞宾 不识好人心...

Nowadays , if someone use the single word 狗,we maybe think it's like to decribe a guy in a poor situation ,like he's single.

Haha this is funny !!! My first impression is that Dior makes jokes to those who are still single[emoji] If someone, a bachelor, buys the product of dior with this envelope, it's like a satire : you have money but you don't have boyfriend/girlfriend lol
