Where does the phrase "going dutch" come from?

So where did the phrase "going into heat" come from?

  • I just answered a question about "doggy periods", and I had to post this question. Where did the phrase come from? I don't really see the connection between estrus and "heat". As a child, all I remember is that everyone that had dogs always said they were "going into heat".

  • Answer:

    HEAT was an acronym. HERE EVERYBODY! ANY TAKERS?

Maybe it's because a b*tch's estrus causes a dog to be "hot" for her? Lol?

Honestly I don't know. In the states its 'In heat' and for the brits is 'on heat' I never thought about that before why we often say heat rather than estrus other than its less of a mouthful.

Actually it has been called several things in the US Going into heat, which means not there yet fully Coming into heat which means she could heat any day... On heat is US phrase as well, lots of show people use this term, which means, the female is ready to breed...have used it myself and others do as well...but most in US say going into heat..... Heat cycle which means all the above, the ole gal is gonna be ready like now or very soon, LOL And when we attended the Crufts Show 2 yrs ago, the Brits called it going into heat, never heard a brit say on heat, but one person and she was like 9 yrs old.....but hey, you can say it anyway you want, it all means the same ole thing..and it is on this year and they show begins March 2 -10, if you watch it they highlight breeders and when they talk about their females heating, you wont hear on heat, never have....

Once upon a time, we humans had estrus too. Going into 'heat' is simply the overly friendliness of the female dog, that alerts every male in the Southern Hemisphere that mating is on! Uh, with her! Good Morning!

Because during sexual arousal, the blood temperature and pressure rises like infrared steam...

"Heat" is a term used in zoology meaning the period or duration of sexual receptiveness. The estrous cycle (heat ) occurs in all placental mammals except humans who instead have a menstrual cycle. ♥

Never heard it said, as going into Just "She's in heat." Meaning a time to be bred.
